Product ReviewsThe Pie and Pastry Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum (1998, Hardcover)

The Pie and Pastry Bible

The Pie and Pastry Bible

This is a superb reference book for bakers. I was given thorough instruction, superb tips and top of the line chef product recommendations, such as Fruit Fresh Michigan Cherries!! The technical information explaining the why and how things are done to the dough was very helpful.
I was a novice baker and now I feel very confident. There are so many different recipes that have been perfected by years of trials. I can't wait to try them all. We had a fabulous double crust fresh blueberry pie last nite. We are gonna have to exercise a little extra, to make up for the sweet treats!!
I think this book will find a prominent position on my counter along with Julia Child, A Bourdain and Joy of Cooking!!

The book is in near new condition, with only a couple of splashes of dirt on it. I am sure it will be well worn after my daily handling!!

Thank you

I am very happily baking away!!Read full review...

Takes your baking to the next level

Don't usually buy cookbooks because I get most of my recipes online but, after checking this book out at the library and renewing several times decided that I had to have it. I am an experienced home baker and reading Rose Beranbaum's book is like having someone with you instructing you on the nuances of baking. If you don't care for detail, then don't get this book. If you want to take your baking to the next level definitely buy it!Read full review...
