Lomelino's Pies: A Celebration of Pies, Galettes, and Tarts: A Sweet Celebration of Pies, Galettes, and Tarts

This is the third Linda Lomelino book I've purchased & it is possibly the most beautiful of them all. I'm a big fan of Linda's blog Call Me Cupcake, and have been baking her recipes for years. This book is no different.The first thing that hits you when you open it up is the photographs. The overall style of the book & the beautiful photos had me drooling as I turned from page to page. I read the entire book cover to cover & I baked my first pie from it the very next day: Crispy Pear Crumble Pie. Since the roaring success of that first pie, I've gone on to make several other recipes in the book - blueberry pie with buttermilk, forest berry crumble pie, flaky pastry dough, peanut butter pie - each to the same success. I have yet to be let down by one of Linda's recipes.The book is divided up into different sections: pies, crumbles, tarts, galattes, mini pies, hand pies, you name it. It's filled with some classics - key lime, apple pie, etc - but there are also some new exciting ideas that I had never seen down before, my favourite of which being the Cinnamon Roll Pie Dough.Hands down one of my favourite baking books, this is one I keep reaching for time & time again.

I love the book and one of the first things I made was the spiced apple pie. It tasted fantastic and I am sure that all the other recipes will do too. My only gripe is having to convert the measurements from cups to grams but its no biggie. I work with both measurements these days when I work through a recipe.It has lovely pictures, comes in a hardback cover and the quality of the pages is really good, I do, however, write my recipes out before I use them as it would be a shame to ruin such a lovely book!

OK. The measurements are imperial, not metric.
