"I always love Giada's recipes, but I have tried this one twice and cannot get the strawberries and the pies to stay "full".. baked the bottoms as other's have said and it helped. Even cut the strawberries and tried to let them lose some of their juices, and the pies STILL evaporated on the insides to almost nothing. Cannot fill them high enough. "

"This is a really simple, not too sweet desert. You should macerate the strawberries in a little orange juice, orange liquor and a small amount of sugar. The nuts are essential for a depth of flavor but I have used whatever I have on hand; toasted of course. Whomever gives it less than three stars did something wrong. For what it is, its 5 stars.
