About this title: This is a collection of 70 pie recipes, gathered from the women in author Patty Pinner's life -family, friends, women who are part of her own personal history. What distinguishes this book is its utterly beguiling storytelling - each recipe is accompanied by a story told on the woman known for making the pie, from Sister Baby's Buttermilk Pie to Miss Hatfield and Her Jelly Pies. It also filled with the truths handed down by our mothers (or that we wish had been handed down by our mothers) like: "An unhappy husband will ask for toasted snow" and "You don't want a man who is jealous of nothing ...

"I love this book. It's a cookbook that you can actually read and not just use a reference tool. Thanks Mom!
Anyway, it's a collection of pie recipes - a huge variety - and the story behind the recipes is included. It's like looking at a family photo album and having your grandma tell you stories about each person as you go. It turns the pictures from flat pieces of paper into living, breathing treasures. I feel that way about this book.
My favorite recipe so far is Miss Dezirae's Mixed Berry Pie. Everytime I make it, the thing is DELICIOUS. And it works ok with frozen berries too (just reduce the amount of water you add to the filling). My next pie to try is one of the peaches and cream pies.
"I LOVED this book - full of amusing, inspiring stories and great recipes. Pinner is from Saginaw, Michigan, but if I hadn't known this I would have assumed she came from a long tradition of southern storytellers in the same vein as Ronda Rich. Can't wait to read her first book/cookbook!"
