Vegetable and cheese pie, egg pies (and tarts), they're all here. In the sweet pies chapter there are fruit pies - apple, berry, peach, plus chocolate tarts, custard-based tarts and nut-filled tarts. There's also information on making simple pastry and how to use it, blindbaking, storing pastry, both homemade and storebought. In short, everything you need to know about pies.
