There's something soothing about making a pie, and so here Annie Rigg features 100 pies and tarts, sweet and savory recipes for every season that are themed by size: individual tartlets and handheld pies, medium ones for lunch and dinner, and big, celebratory pies for larger gatherings. Stressing that anyone can make pastry, Rigg includes a Baking 101 and lays out the basics of puff pastry, pate sablee, and sourdough, then gets you started on such treats as Buttermilk Custard Tart with Roasted Grapes; Pecan, Bourbon & Chocolate Pie; and Beef & Chorizo Empanadas with Chimichurri.
