Perfect Pies & More

Praise for Perfect Pies & More and Michele’s Pies   “Stuart’s recipes are rooted in tradition and in a sense of how fresh-baked treats can serve as a powerful sense-memory later in life.”—Hartford Courant   “Baking (and eating) fiends, ready your stretchies … Stuart’s second book gives the people what they want.”—Daily Candy   “You owe yourself a visit to Michele’s Pies, where pie fillings range from fruits and nuts to butterscotch to just about everything in between.”—The New York Times   “Michele is the undisputed champion of pies, and now she’s sharing even more sweet treats from the oven! Her home-cook–friendly recipes are creative, easy, and delicious. I’m a better baker because of this wonderful book. Happy Dance!”—David Venable, QVC host and author of In the Kitchen with David
