Just about all of us have had a Pot Pie, but so many people think this great comfort food is so difficult to make, that the only time they indulge is with those cheap little frozen things you find at the supermarket. Well friends, if that has been your only experience with Pot Pies, then you ate in for a treat!

Diane Phillips is here to take the mystique out of savory pie making as well as provide enough recipes to keep everyone in the family satisfied, regardless of how diverse their tastes. Diane says , "the theory behind pot pies is to turn your favorite dishes into easy home cooking."

Sure, you'll find the classics like Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie, but this book goes far beyond the basics in its eighty five recipe entries. Check some of these pies out for a sample: Monte Cristo Pie, Barbecued Beef with Challah Crust, Creole Sausage and Rice Pie with Red Bean Crust or Pork Tamale Pie with Southwestern Crust.

As you can tell from the above list, Phillips pays just as much attention to her pies' crusts as she does to the savory fillings contained within them. If you love comfort food - from the basic to the gourmet - you'll love this book. Busy moms or those looking to save money will find the book a boon as well. Many of the recipes can be put together with ingredients already in your pantry, some can be made ahead and frozen. Best of all, Pot Pies are a wonderful way to use leftovers!
