Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I was totally enticed by the cover, as it reminded me of British dinner pies that I really liked when visiting abroad. I've never tried to make any other than shepherd's pie and chicken pot pie. I am approaching this book as someone who'd love to learn ways to make new pies, as well as maybe checking out recipes I've tried before that may be a better methodology.

The book's contents include pie doughs & pastries, pot pies, hand pies, turnovers, pizzas, meat pies, little pies, cobblers, and more. The recipes are straight forward and begin with teaching how to make dough. It's not a required requisite however. There are so many different types and cuisines represented in the variety of recipes. Most of them sounded like something that I'd like to include in a dinner rotation. I will be trying some out and I would check this book out as a physical copy in order to try out more in the future.

I think my own critique is that there aren't many pictures, which would be helpful for pies as they are a very visual type of food. Other cookbooks out nowadays are just loaded with pics. Overall though, still a good book.

This is a great cookbook for all levels of cooks from beginners to experienced. Great recipes, with ingredients that you can find at most larger full service grocers.

This book is a great resource of ideas of what to make for my next pi day party! I've often had the issue of too many sweet pies so all these options of savory pies helps a lot. The only complaint is that for a book that says it covers pies across the world, its not really diverse. There were only like 3 asian inspired ish pies? But overall its a good pie recipe reference book.

For all my fellow pie lovers, don't we often default to the dessert variety? I know I do. I fact, Ken Haedrich recently came out with one such cookbook called Pie Academy. I reviewed that one previously with an ARC copy, then went out and bought it because it was excellent. I've been enjoying dessert pies at home ever since. So when I saw Savory Dinner Pies by the same author, I knew I had to give this one a go. I was not disappointed. In fact, I made the Cornish Meat Pies (on page 51) for dinner last night, and they were absolutely wonderful. As usual, pictures are lovely (and almost every recipe has one). Instructions were clear and easy to follow. There is plenty of variety as well here (hand pies, galettes, pot pies, shepherd's pie, etc.) and over 80 recipes in total. I highly recommend this to all pie lovers and home chefs alike!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This cookbook was super cool! I love to bake and I was able to explore a few different options in each section before writing my review. My favorite had to be the shepherd's pie! It was amazing and the crust was the right amount of flaky with the delicious flavors bursting inside! Altogether it was a great recipe. The only critique I would say is the lack of pictures. Many modern cookbooks have moved onto this more picture-oriented style because after all, a picture is worth a thousand words. I found the lack of pictures stunting how much I wanted to open this book and explore other recipes when I didn't know how it was supposed to look in the process.
Overall I would recommend this book if you can power through the lack of pictures and use your imagination!

Wow, such an assortment of delicious recipes, makes me want to go and bake right now! Either with or without crusts, there is so much to choose from. Photographs and recipes are excellent. Recommended!

Savory Dinner Pies has a wide range of recipes from around the world. They seem to be well-explained and meet a variety of food preferences. I recommend this recipe book to people who don’t mind that there aren’t pictures for every recipe included in the book. It does have a good index and measurement conversion table. There is not nutritional information for the recipes.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun recipe book!

This book has recipes for pie crusts along with a variety of fillings. There are all sorts of pies from meat pies to vegetable options and everything in between. There are some beautiful pictures, although I wish more were included. As someone who enjoys sweet pies I was surprised by the variety and versatility of some of these recipes.

Overall a nice find!

This is a book you can read, use and reuse, cook from and get plenty of hints and tips from. It is a book you can share in more ways than one.

Right from the start I enjoyed reading all the information on the tools, ingredients and ways of making and using pastry. and then the good part, the recipes. And what wonderful recipes this book has. First we do the recipes for all sorts of doughs and pie crusts, then we are on to pies, pizzas, tarts, quiches, pot pies and even cobblers.
Just writing about it is making me hungry yet again!

I love the range of pastries that can be made and the pies themselves are easy enough to make and the ingredients are easy to access which is great as most of us have little time to make complicated recipes with long ingredient lists.

I will work my way through this book making as many of the recipes as I can but so far some of my favourites are the Philly Cheesesteak Hand Pies, Potato and Pea Samosas, Little Roasted Tomato Tarts, All in One Breakfast Quiche and Shrimp Pot Pie. I haven't even gotten to the sweet treats yet!

All I can say is YUM!

Ken Haedrich shares his enthusiasm for pie making, along with detailed easy-to-follow directions for several pie crusts. And then, there are the awesome recipes for dinner pies. Everything from meat pies, quiches, tarts, pizzas and more. Beginning and established pie bakers alike will find much to learn and try. It does seem, however, that this Savory Dinner Pies cookbook is an updated, re-edited version of Dinner Pies published in 2015, of which I have a copy.

This is a beautiful book with plenty of tips on how to make great pastry and pies. However, I am so disappointed. All measurements are in cups making it impossible for someone in the UK to make the recipes successfully. I have no idea how much a stick of butter is for example! It's a great shame as many US published books now do include metric weights as well.

I love a good pie - who doesn’t? This recipe book has every kind of pie you could dream of, and more. It’s page after page of delicious sounding pie recipes, for all occasions. They’re all divided into helpful categories, helping you to easily find just what you’re after. It has everything from simple and humble pies, to more extravagant, complex pies for the keen baker. As well as the clear step by step instructions, there are tips, ‘Recipe for Success’ to guide you through.
Although there aren’t photographs of each pie recipe in the book, the photographs featured are mouth watering, and definitely inspire you to make these tasty savoury treats.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

Whilst I understand this is a book solely about pie, but somehow I expected more variety and less repetition.

It's fantastic that dishes or tins etc are talked about and compared, as I learned a few things here and there, but I'll admit it's quite a dry opener.

My only constructive improvement (as I believe the rest is my taste/opinion) is to include more pictures of the pie-making process, as well as the finished product. For instance some ingredient photos or even measuring cups etc.

Ken Haedrich knows his pastry! In Savory Dinner Pies, he introduces several crust options to wrap around delicious dinner fillings. I haven’t had this book in hand long enough to have tried more than two of the recipes, but the Cornish Pasties in a Flaky and Sturdy Hand Pie Pastry and the Old Bay Seafood Pot Pie (using his Go-To-Pie Dough) will be kitchen keepers at my house.

The recipes are delicious, and the detailed instructions for making flaky pastry are carefully written. I look forward to baking many more of the recipes in this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am a sucker for a savory pie and this book was right up my alley. I have tried 4 of the recipes so far and loved them all so much that I went ahead and bought the book for myself, and ordered another for the branch. Recipes tried: creamy red potato parmesan tart, frito pie, roasted tomato tart, and the roasted asparagus goat cheese tart. All were stellar. Additionally, the photos look great and there are "recipe for success" notes on many of the recipes to help guide you on techniques and provide further suggestions.

This is a great cookbook!
The first thing I look at in a cookbook is how many ingredients and the difficulty of the recipe (single working mom, so I like yummy but easy). This book was perfect, around 10-12 ingredients on most recipes, and the prep/cook times were manageable. I like all the different styles of crust, you can really mess around with those and each pie or use the recommended one. I chose to cook the curry chicken pot pie as soon as I opened the book, and it turned out wonderful. Can’t wait to try more.

What a great cookbook. It's usually difficult to find savory pie recipes, let alone a whole cookbook filled with them. There is a great variety of sources of the recipes, so are familiar and some new takes on old traditions. I would definitely purchase this cookbook for my home library!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the recipes are mouthwatering and easy to follow. i liked the pictures.
An excellent book if you want to try some new pies.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

One of the best things about Ken Haedrich is that he is passionate about his subjects, and transfers this passion to his excellent cookbooks. Savory Dinner Pies: More than 80 Delicious Recipes from Around the World is no exception. This cookbook makes readers want to drop everything and bake a pie. Dinner pies are substantial and filling, so with this book, dinner can often be pie and salad. Yum!

The recipes are written in the traditional manner, and are easy-to-follow. They are succinct and give step-by-step instructions to insure perfect, picture-perfect results. The cookbook features beautiful photographs of most of the pies, and they are mouthwatering. There is an excellent chapter on Tools of the Trade where Haedrich shows and explains what pans can be used for pies. He includes several recipes for different crusts, and gives advice on how to make them perfectly. Haedrich shows hand pies, turnovers, pizzas, whole dinner pies, sandwich size pies, mini tarts, galettes, and quiches.

Anyone who doesn’t know how to make a pie can learn from this cookbook. There is something here for everyone’s taste, including vegetarian, meat, fish, poultry, and pies using leftovers. Pie lovers will use this cookbook often to create mouthwatering pies that will make dinner exciting. This cookbook is highly recommended and makes a great addition to a cookbook collection. It’s fun to read and fun to cook from. Haedrich has done it again.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

Pros: I wanted to read this book as soon as I saw the cover photography--the food looked so cozy. The recipes in this book are accessible to cooks and bakers of all skill levels, but if I'm being honest with myself, I know I'll buy pie dough from the store rather than make it myself. My mouth was watering as I read through these recipes. I immediately want to try the spicy chicken and cheese empanadas; the curried chickpea and rice packets; the creamy red potato and Parmesan tort; the ricotta, spinach, and sausage quiche, the all-in-one breakfast quiche, the smoky bacon and cheddar cheese quiche, the chicken pot pie, and the chicken and rice cheese strudel. I appreciated that this book featured cuisines from around the world and included vegetarian recipes.

Cons: I would have loved to see a few more photos of the finished dishes--photos help me when I'm trying a new recipe to see if I got close to what it should look like.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group, Harvard Common Press for the opportunity to read this book!
