I enjoy older recipes and recipes that have history. Amish Pies provides a variety of crusts, a range of pies including sweet, savory and protein based. I really enjoyed the unique recipes as well as the antidotes about the recipes added by the author. The photos, variations and details gives a solid basis for baking pies. I would recommend this book. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity.

I really like this book! It has a lot of variety and different pie recipes and maybe give some inspiration to try new things. I love that the crusts have an own chapter in the beginning and the rest basically is about the filling. The pictures and descriptions are great and it seems like they’re easy to make and you don’t need a ton of ingredients.

If you love pie, and seriously who doesn't, this is the book for you! A great variety of recipes, some really not too available, and straightforward instructions. Easy as pie (wink).

I love to bake. I love Amish baking. So I was immediately drawn to this cookbook. I loved there were photos of every pie. I loved the layout. And I'm going to love trying these recipes!

Many thanks to Net Galley and Skyhorse Publishing for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love pie, so this book really appealed to me. This book was a great resource for experienced bakers and novices alike. There were so many great recipes in this book. I love that there were multiple variations of some pies. I also like that there was a mix of well-known and more unique pies. I also like the addition of savory pies. Most pie books solely focus on sweet pies, so I found this a great addition. I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Amish Pies.

Amish Pies gets straight to the point. This is a book about pies, no muss, no fuss.

There's no lengthy intro on baking tools, ingredients, and spiel on the author's motivations and personal experiences on writing this book.

You get a simple tutorial on making pie crusts (not as hard as you might think), and it's off to the pie making.

There's a pie for every taste, and variations using easy to find ingredients nearly everyone would have in their pantry.

The instructions are brief, simple, and easy to follow, no long paragraphs or complicated steps.

I'm definitely no baker but I think even I could make some of these pies.

The photos came out great on my Kindle and there's a photo for every pie. Amazing!

I love how straight foward the way this is written. It's easy to understand. There is not much preamble, which I like. The pictures are great. And it is really responsive on the Kindle! All the Chapters and recipes are links, so you can very quickly get where you need to be, which is super helpful.
