About this title

From the Author

Go ahead, make a pie then share it with family and friends.
I wrote this book, first, so I could talk about some women I've known who I was fortunate enough to meet just at the time I needed them most--Betty, a waitress in a little restaurant in an Ohio farming town who taught me to make pies while getting on with the rest of my life, and Miss Glover, a powerful, 80 year old community activist in Atlanta, Ga, who made me pies whenever she thought I needed some morale boosting. Over the years, whenever anyone told me I couldn't do something (or I felt I couldn't do something), I relied on baking a pie to get me through and thinking about what these women, among others, have taught me. Pies are something that most people--even accomplished cooks--shy away from because they're led to believe by modern cookbooks and food magazines to think crust making is hard. It's not--just tricky--and that's another aspect of the book--to clear away modern phobias about food and baking while just getting back to the simple enjoyment of making a pie.
