All About Pies & Tarts

Sixty years since Irma Rombauer advised new cooks to Stand facing the stove, America's love affair with Joy of Cooking continues unabated. And why not? Joy in hand, tens of millions of people -- from novices to professionals -- have learned to do everything from make a meat loaf to clean a squid to frost a wedding cake. For decades, Joy of Cooking has taught America how to cook, serving as the standard against which all other cookbooks are judged. More than 75 recipes--presented for the first time ever-- with the clear, comprehensive instrucitons you've come to expect from the Joy of Cooking. Recipes for all of the pies and tarts the American home cook will ever need: covered fruit pies; single-crust fruit pies and tarts; cream and chiffon pies; custard pies; and chocolate, citrus, and savory pies and tarts.
