The giveaway is now closed! I’m reviewing a new cookbook, Pie Squared: Irresistibly Easy Sweet and Savory Slab Pies, and I’m  also having a giveaway of this book—2 winners will each receive a copy! Continue reading below for details on how to enter the giveaway! 

Slab Pies have become such a popular food trend—traditional round pies are good, but slab pies take pie-making to the next level! They’re not only sweet, there are some

delicious savory slab pies too! That’s why I was excited about reviewing the new cookbook called Pie Squared: Irresistibly Easy Sweet & Savory Slab Pies by Cathy Barrow, who writes the “Bring It” column in the Washington Post’s food section. It’s filled with 75 slab pie recipes and I was excited about trying one of them out!

There are all kinds of slab pie recipes in this cookbook…and lots of different crusts! There’s traditional pie dough, but there’s also cracker, cornbread, and cookie crusts. And there are lots of sweet and savory choices.  Some of the sweet dessert slab pies include: Absolutely Peachy Slab Pie; Blackberry, Sweet Corn, and Basil Slab Pie; Easy-as-Pie Apple Slab Pie; Pumpkin Chiffon Slab Pie; Chocolate Pecan Slab Pie; S’Mores Slab Pie; Lemon Cream Slab Pie; Banana Pudding Slab PIe. Some of the savory slab pies are…Sausage and Biscuit Slab Pie; Eggs Florentine Slab Pie; Cowboy Beef Stew Slab Pie; After-Thanksgiving Turkey Slab Pie; Loaded Baked Potato Slab Pie; Just-Like-Artichoke-Dip Slab Pie. 

Slab pies are perfect for potlucks, large holiday gatherings, or even a regular family meal (and unless you have a large family, you’ll have some great leftovers!). You’ll need a sheet pan, and these slab pie recipes all use a 9×13″ sheet pan, which is a good size—large, but not too large!

So I decided to try the Peanut Butter Slab Pie. This pie has a creamy peanut butter filling and a chocolate wafer crust, so it’s perfect for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. And it’s really easy to make!

Congratulations to Donna G, comment 7, and Kim comment 16, on winning the two giveaway copies!
