In case you haven’t heard yet, pies are the new cupcakes. You’ll find more than 80 recipes for your holiday table in “Perfect Pies” (Ballantine, $25), a new cookbook by Michele Stuart, owner of Michele’s Pies in Norwalk and Westport, Conn.
Stuart has won 26 National Pie Championship awards for her creations, including her key lime pie, coconut custard pie, chocolate-peanut butter dream pie, caramel chocolate pecan pie and blueberry-blackberry crumb pie. (All of the recipes for these pies, and other award winners, are in the book.)

If you’re tired of serving pumpkin pie and pecan pie every year, check out Stuart’s chapter on party pies. You’ll find a banana split pie, a tiramisu pie and other refreshingly different options for that long, pie-filled stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
Stuart also shares recipes for some of her more popular savory pies, including a chicken pot pie and a variety of quiches.
