title: French Tarts: 50 Savory and Sweet Recipes
author:  Linda Dannenberg 
description: Dannenberg, the author of a half dozen other books on France and French cooking, presents tarts, tourtes, and quiches from patissiers, top chefs, and home cooks. There are classics like Tarte aux Poireaux (Leek Tart), more unusual creations such as Tartelettes Tatin au Foie Gras, and variations on the theme, like French Toast Plum Tart. Many of the recipes are accompanied by stunning color photographs, and whimsical illustrations decorate the text. For most baking collections. [BOMC selection.] Willard, a New York food writer, might be described as a pie fanatic; she likes pie at any time of the day, and when she has it for breakfast, it's likely to be freshly baked rather than a leftover. She offers recipes for any occasion, from "quick pies for when friends drop in" to "knock-'em-dead creations and labors of love." There are both savory and sweet pies here, along with "pie history," tips on dealing with the fear of piecrust, and anecdotes about friends and fellow pie bakers. For most collections.<br />Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
