This is from the folks who have worked so long and hard to preserve America's pies and recipes as well as American's interest in pies. When pies can be purchased mass produced at most retail grocery outlets, few home cooks go to through the trouble to prepare pies, but I do. Today, I produced 8 pies, including pumpkin and Louisiana Puerto Rican Yam pies. I will be making an all natural (from "scratch" as are all my pies) lemon pie, which if you never had such an all natural lemon pie, you are missing a part of heaven! I met folks at the American Pie Council who love pies as I do. Ever since becoming a lifetime member, I have taken their championship recipes and tweaked them with improvements to make them even better. This is a great book and is indispensable for pie lovers and pie makers and bakers.-cajun gourmet
