- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024This book helps with figuring out measurements for mini size pies. There's a good variety of savory and sweet pies as well as crisps. Looking forward to making some of these recipes.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018I am so excited about this cookbook, because I LOVE pie (as does my partner). While I'm happy to eat an entire apple pie (almost by myself!) the idea of having selection of different types of pies without needing to make full sized pies is awesome! Especially when you start to think about savory pies - it becomes actual meals instead of just dessert. Abigail Gehring's book is perfect - adorable, simple, concise and with gorgeously mouth watering pictures of mini pies. I love her 4 different homemade pie crust recipes that you can mix and match with different fillings options. A great buy for anyone who loves baking and loves pies.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016Although I have yet to cook anything from the book, the recipes are concise and clear and look and sound delicious. I, like some other reviewers wished that the author had offered some instructions on scaling to full pie size, but at the end of the day its pie. You can easily scale the filling yourself and anything extra you just use for minis in addition to your full sized pie. I can't wait to have time to actually prepare some pies from this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2014I bought a BabyCakes Mini Pie Maker for my mom and got this book to go with it after some searching. I couldn't find any other books with directions on how to make mini pies with a mini pie machine, but this book tells recipes and cooking times for both machine and muffin tin pies! I just made my first chicken pot pies with mom, and they turned out perfect! There's great recipes for sweet pies like berry and chocolate and nut pies, but also savory recipes like empanadas, quiches, pot pies, shepherd's pies, and even cracked-egg pies! There's photos to give ideas of what the pies will look like, and they taste pretty great too. This book is an excellent launching point for creative cooks and and lovers of leftovers. Making filling takes a while, but cooking times are incredibly fast so it's a great thing to have for parties and recipes if you make filling ahead of time. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024Many types of meat and dessert tarts
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013This is an ok collection of recipes; for a digital edition, i would appreciate far more in the way of illustrations and photos. The formatting of the recipe ingrdients does not disply well on the Kindle. The lists are formatted in two columns which bump up against one another making it very difficult to tell where column 1 ingredient ends and column 2 ingredient begins. I've tried resizing text and screen but this does not help. Would like to see some improvement to make it easier to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024A lot of information for bakeing nice book
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022This is an ok book about mini pies. Mainly for mini pie machines but can be made in muffin tins. I spent 2.99 for the Kindle version and it was worth that to me. Easy to follow recipes.

Good recipes but I wouldn't have bought this had it not been on Amazon discount as it's a US book and in US weights and measures.

This is a really great cook book because you can make a variety of small pies and not have the worry about who's going to eat the rest of the pie! Either baking these pies in a countertop mini pie maker or baking your pies in muffin tins (my favourite). These recipes are to make four pies at a time. Sweet, fruity or savoury pies. Quiche recipes and pie crust recipes included.
