    I started watching Tyler Florence cooking when I was in Toronto 6 years ago. I think he's a fantastic chef and rather cute too!
    Been wanting to bake a pie for the longest time and finally did a week ago. I tried Tyler's recipe. It's sooo easy and it came out great. I baked a black pepper Salmon pie and everyone who tasted it said it was good!

    Am definitely going to start baking more pies! Am planning to do a curry chicken pie this coming weekend!

    Thanks Tyler!

    This pie pastry is anything but basic. It was so easy and came together so well, and the hint of lemony flavor just makes it extra special. I used it for a strawberry-rhubarb pie and was just delicious! I'm certain it would be wonderful with savory pies as well.

    Tyler I have been watching you cook since the beginning. I enjoy your technique of cooking and explanations. I hope you continue with your cookshows. One of my best recipes that you gave was your chocolate chunk cookies and your butter cookies, if I named it wrong I am sorry, I cooked it about two years ago, your recipe gave me great reviews with my family and I have never tasted such a delectible cookie. I misplaced that recipe and I have tried looking it up on your site but I can't find it,I would appreciate it, if you could put it on your website again. Thank you for your Recipes.

    The women in my family are pros at making pie crust--using store bought crust is almost a mortal sin. I used this recipe instead of the "family recipe" from my mom's edition of BHG's red-checked cookbook. EVERYONE liked it--including the "pie crust pros." It beautifully complimented the fresh apple filling. Thanks Tyler--you've set a new standard for homemade pie crust in my book. :

    I have tried several pie crust recipes in the past and I've never seemed to get them to come out right. This recipe came out exactly like I saw Tyler do on T.V.!!! The crust was nice and flakey and the lemon zest added an extra taste to the crust!! Thank you for a great recipe.

    Has a lemony flavor that makes the whole pie taste better!

    Quick and easy. I was nervous at first to try, but it was a piece of cake.

    This crust did seem easier to work with than some other crusts, and it made a beautiful pie, but it just didn't taste as good as other crusts I've made. The texture just wasn't what we prefer. And, it was already soggy by the next morning. My husband & I didn't enjoy the lemon zest in the crust either. It overpowered the nutty-buttery flavor we like so much in a crust.
