Description: "There is as much debate about how to perfect the ideal, flaky pastry crust as there is about the very definition of a pie: Must it have a top and bottom crust? Is a pasty a pie? In flavorful detail, Clarkson celebrates the pie in all its variations. She touches pon the pies commercial applications, nutritional value, and cultural significance, and she examines its international variations, from Britains pork pie and Australia and New Zealands endless varieties of meat pie to the Russian kurnik and good old-fashioned American apple pie."--Provided by the publisher.
