The Pie Book – Worldwide Giveaway
October 10, 2018 by JennyBaking books are my downfall. While I can sometimes pull away from a cookbook (like a piece of metal from a magnet), I do not have much restraint when facing a title devoted to baking. Today, we have a worldwide promotion for The Pie Book: Over 400 Classic Recipes by Louis P. De Gouy and it is brilliant.
Here, master chef Louis P. De Gouy (former chef at the Waldorf
Astoria) presents more than 400 tasty pie recipes. De Gouy, a
founder of Gourmet magazine, is an expert at concise
instruction. In addition to his carefully chosen recipes, he offers
advice on flour selection, fruit preparation, and baking
procedures, including the secrets to turning out a flaky,
golden-brown crust every time.
Here a few examples of the unique recipes in this title: Frozen
orange pie, Prune molasses cream pie, Prune nut cream pie, White
House pecan pie, Green tomato mincemeat, Frozen maraschino pie, and
Orange cream meringue pie. In addition, throughout The Pie Book, De
Gouy provides various “methods” such as “the Southern method” or
“the Florida method” because every region of the world puts their
spin on recipes. The thoroughness of the contents will amaze you –
for example the Marzipan meringue border and Boiled meringue
topping recipes have over a dozen variations from angel food.
coffee, pineapple to ginger meringue.
There are eight versions of pumpkin pie and more
than 25 varieties of apple pie. A special section covers the use of
toppings and glazes, with complete recipes for meringues, glazed
cherry topping, almond paste, cheese topping, and many other
finishes. This treasury of recipes puts all the essentials of good
pie baking at the fingertips of amateurs and professionals alike.
This book is an incredible reference tool for bakers. Update: I
made the pecan pie this weekend and was able to snap a photo before
baking. Next up the Frozen chocolate pie as I finally picked up
gelatin!
Our EYBD Preview showcases three recipes: Apple crumb pie, Pecan
custard pie and Frozen chocolate pie.
