Rose Levy Beranbaum is a baking rock star. I believe I have all of her books. Her newest book, The Baking Bible, launches October 28th, and will also be available soon in fine kitchen shops and bookstores nationwide.
This book is not only 560 plus pages of beauty — the measurements are in weights and volumes and the attention to detail is wonderful. I’m an accomplished baker and this book makes me excited to get into the kitchen and start baking — but a novice can pick up this book and use Rose’s details and instructions to create baking masterpieces.
I’m partnering with Rose’s publisher HMH as well as Harold Import Co. to celebrate the launch of The Baking Bible and to share my experience making Mud Turtle Pie from the book and using Rose’s Perfect Pie Plate.
Harold Import Co. is the company that makes Rose Levy Beranbaum’s specialty baking tools which are available in kitchen shops nationwide, and on line. Rose’s Perfect Pie Plate is a beautiful and quality piece that comes in this adorable pie/hat box — perfect for gift giving (if you order the one with the recipe booklet). I love the red one — but I’m thinking another color would be great at Christmas hint, hint…wheat or sage, please.
I made the pie crust for the Mud Turtle Pie and while it was resting in the fridge, I threw together the ingredients for the pecan filling. As usual, Rose’s instructions and details are impeccable.
The pecan filling came together quickly and smelled incredible baking. The chocolate ganache is a blending of different chocolates and is rich and creamy.
Rose gave instructions for a chocolate turtle but I made a pie crust turtle. I thought it looked cute – I hope it looks like a turtle. Someone tell me it looks like a turtle.
Andrew could not wait for me to cut this pie. We all had a taste and it was delicious — the crust is amazing and the pecan filling and ganache – so good. It will be better once the ganache sets but someone couldn’t wait! Rose’s crust recipe is on line here.
The recipe for the Mud Turtle Pie can be found here.

That pie looks heavenly! I love all that caramel-ey pecan bottom! I think you did great making a turtle. God knows I am no artist and I’m postive that is way better than I would ever do!

Awesome, thanks so much for the giveaway! The pie plate is so beautiful too! Would like to participate, I write from Spain but a have an adress in the US cause my nephew is living there! 🙂
Love turtles–the animal and the candies. And that pie crust turtle is cute! I want this book! And pie plate. Does the plate make it so crust doesn’t shrink while baking? I hate that. Your crust looks beautiful. Even when I follow crust directions exactly, I still get shrinky dink crusts. I think it’s the plate. I want the plate. 😉
Love your posting of my recipe–you did me proud!
I would love to win the Baking Bible. I enjoy finding new recipes and trying them out, and this recipe book would just be wonderful. The beautiful pie plate would be the icing on the cake! <3 Thank you for this opportunity.
This looks wonderful !a must try, thanks for the chance!
This looks like a great book!!
.Baking is good for the soul!
I’ve baked some cakes from Rose’s other book and they came out spectacular. She really has a way with describing in detail the process in achieving great results.

Mmmmm pie!
Thanks for a chance to win this book. The pie looks fabulous!
This pie looks amazing.. and with 560 other pages I can only hope to be the winner of this fabulous book! And since I love to make pies… the pie plate wouldn’t hurt either 😉 Thanks for the opportunity!!
I first thought it was a star but with stuff on it 🙂 Then you said it is turtle, I go with the turtle 🙂
I would love to have this book to my collection.
What a beautiful pie plate! I would love to bake an apple pie or pumpkin pie in it for Thanksgiving.

I would love to win this! She is my favorite cookbook author.
i need a new cookbook now!

Would love to win this book!
That definitely looks like a turtle! I’m sure the crust is wonderful but I would also be happy with a spoon just to eat the filling! It looks like a beautiful book! I would love to win a copy!
I love chocolate pecan pie…would love to try this turtle pie!
bethelderton59 at gmail dot com
Just got into baking and this would be awesome!
From what I’ve seen about this book so far it looks pretty good! I might just have to buy it if I don’t win a copy. I also like the Rose’s Perfect Pie Plate a lot since I suck at pinching the edge of pie crusts. I’m sure I’d get better if I just practiced but I don’t bake pies all that often. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for such a great giveaway!!

I’m not sure which is more tempting: that scrumptious looking pie or the adorable pie pan/box combo!
Wonderful review as always! I’m actually looking forward to the Baking Bible more than Dorie’s book, just because this looks more like something I’d use regularly.
Beautiful pie plate, great book, and fantastic pie!
I love sweets! Bring on the pie!
I’m a ‘Suth’rin girl…..nothing says love like a pie!

Looks like a wonderful book! 🙂
Nothing makes me happier than a kid with chocolate on their face.
I am determined to overcome my fear of baking and want to dive right in. Obviously I need all the help I can get. This pie looks like a wonderful way to start.
It appears I NEED this book!
This pie looks so yummy. I love the scalloped edges on the pie plate.
Oh I so need this book! I’m on a baking mission & think it would be awesome to have! And the pie – I’m gonna have to make that pie!
Thank you!!!
I love The Cake Bible… it was one of the very first cookbooks I ever bought for myself and this was way back when and I still love baking from it. I dream of owning a copy of The Baking Bible.
Beautiful pie plate, and beautiful pie – plus gorgeous book. I have her other books, and am looking forward to this one!

Your little turtle is so cute.
My mouth is watering – the chocolate atop that pie is so inviting. Yum!
I don’t make enough pies. And I don’t think I’ve ever made pie crust from scratch. I need to remedy that. Thanks for taking time to do the giveaway!
