We love pie! Coming upon a cookbook that is nothing but pie is sublime. Mr. Haedrich also loves pie!  That's clear in his writing and first-hand narrative accompanying each of the more than 300 recipes. For many of us, certain pies have a genealogy accompanying them that makes for more than just a good dessert; they become the embodiment of family culinary traditions. Here's your chance to refresh some of those memories or to start some new ones. The cookbook is organized seasonally by types of pie fillings - Berry Good Pies, Classic Fall Pies, Nut Pies, Custard Pies, Cream Pies, Chiffon Pies, Ice Cream Freezer Pies, and an entire chapter just for Apple Pies. The repertoire of pies is preceded by a detailed chapter on pie crusts - how to make a good crust, how to choose the right crust for different pies, and 21 different crust recipes. Each recipe contains a notes section entitled, "Recipe for Success," that contains invaluable tips and hints for the specific recipe. It's like having a well-known pie mentor at your side at all times. The collection of assembled pies is a worthy homage to this always appropriate dessert.
