Book Reviews of Killer Pies: Delicious Recipes from North America's Favorite Restaurants (Killer (Chronicle Books))

Book Review: Killer Pies is a very appropriate name for this book
Summary: 2 Stars

It has an appealing layout and is interesting to READ, but beware of some of the recipes if you are at all health conscious. For example, "Sour Cream Raisin Pie" on p. 37, which makes one 9-inch pie, has a filling made from 4 cups raisins, 1 cup cornstarch, 12 egg yolks, 5 cups packed brown sugar and 4 cups sour cream. Whew! Another example, "Johnny's Cafe Pecan Pie" on p. 45, also a 9-inch pie, has 12 eggs in the filling! Not all the recipes are as rich, but a good many are.
I know that pies are not diet food but these are really over the limit. I was disappointed with this cookbook.
