175 Best Mini Pie Recipes: Sweet to Savory Paperback – March 14, 2013

If you are into pictures of the finished product, this may not be the book for you. I you have a mini pie maker or just need some great ideas to get started, this book is wonderful. It includes recipes for the mini pie makers and also for things like pie pops, turnovers, and calzones. I particularly like that it includes recipes for various crusts such as pie crusts, pastry crusts, and a number of flavored and seasoned crusts. It also includes recipes for quite a few sauces.I initially bought this book to jump-start me in making mini pies, but it really offers ideas on a whole heck of a lot more. This book may not work for newbie cooks because of the lack of pictures, but for those that are more experienced, and need only good ideas that can be expanded on, this book is great.The one thing that I don't like about this book is the way the recipes for pies is categorized. Some of the categories in the contents page are Ten Top Classics, Berry Yummy Pies, Apples, pears and Stone Fruit, Holiday Pies, Meat and Seafood Pies, etc. If you were looking for a pie to make with a certain meat, for example, it may be in Ten Top Classics, Holiday Pies, or Meat and Seafood Pies. If you know exactly what the pie is called, you can find it in the index at the back of the book. Otherwise, you may have to look through multiple categories to find it.

Wonderful book with excellent recipes

Look no further for a fantastic cook book on Mini Pies. Wow, you hsve 175recipies to choose from.Thank you Julie Anne Hession for creating this cook book.

I purchased "175 Best Mini Pie Recipes: Sweet to Savory" as a gift but just reordered another copy for myself! I thumbed through it before I wrapped it up and knew immediately it was my kind of cookbook. Step-by-step photographed instructions, creative recipes from innovative to simple comfort--It's the kind of cookbook that makes you want to fire up the oven and bake!Best of all, there are variations on each and every recipe making it a lot more 175!Do yourself a favor and order 2 -- 1 to give and one to keep for yourself!

Just received my copy and am blown away by the number of recipes in the book. Recipes range from savory to sweet and include many varieties of pies including hand pies, pie pops, pocket pies, tartlets, mini pot pies, and mini galettes. There is also a wide variety of dough recipes including a flaky pie dough, graham cracker pie dough, and many more. I love that the recipes include tips, variation ideas, and make ahead tips! The pie pops are adorable and are sure to be a hit at my next party!!!

This is my mini pie bible! Not only does it have 175 really creative savory & sweet recipes, but it also includes tons of helpful tips. There are about 17 different dough recipes including vegan & gluten free. I love the photos. There are drool worthy pictures of many of the recipes and tutorial photo pages that will help you with techniques. I made the Blueberry Lemon Pie Pops with my daughters and they were a big hit!

I really like the book. Has a lot of good mini recipes which is what I was looking for. I gave it four stars because it only had a few pictures in the middle. I like to see pictures of each recipe; otherwise the book is perfect.

I've gotten into making little pies. It's much easier having just one little one than having a large, regular sized pie sitting around tempting just a single eater. This book has a number of interesting, tasty combinations.

Amazing variations for someone who loves to experiment
