The Perfect Recipe: The Ultimate, Hands-Down Best Way to Cook Our Favorite Foods

Coconut Cream Pie : page 334
Amazing. Absolutely delicious. Have now made this twice in one week! The crust is the same used for the the other meringue and cream pies in the book; dreamy, and definitely best the first day. It held, but went down to being very good the second day, instead of transcendent, the first day. I forgot to toast coconut for the filling, the first time, but it was delicious anyway. Second try I used half toasted and half not-toasted coconut. Both amazing. It made a wonderful Mother's Day present for my mom and the whole crew! HIGHLY recommended.

Light and Fluffy Pancakes : page 294
This is the go-to recipe for pancakes in our house; it has been made a hundred times, I am sure. It is always tasty, but it is only Light and Fluffy when the recipe is exactly followed; the times I have substituted thinned yogurt for buttermilk, or not separated the egg, etc. it isn't quite as good. I guess that is why they do so much testing, step by step? Because it ensures success?? I don't always have the ingredients or patience (or skill, early morning).

Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie : page 327
Great recipe! As expected from these folks, they let you know the reason for each tiny detail, and all the little things add up to delicious. The crust uses a bit of shortening, but mostly butter, and then the roll-out in graham crumbs seems genius, and tasted delicious! I fudged the cooling times for crust a bit by using the freezer rather than the fridge; worked fine. Meringue and curd were lovely.
