 Basic Pies January 28, 2008

I bought this as a gift, but of course I reviewed it before gifting. It was really basic and great for really teaching you the how to's of pie making (something that is truly a lost art)
$5.95 for a slim volume of recipes that use a great deal of sugar June 12, 2007

This book is interestingly written in a chatty tone. I probably not follow the recipes because of the high sugar content but I will review it when I make savory pies.

The Lost of Pie Making Made Easy is another gem with more historic black and white photos, old-time advertisements, tips from pie makers and of course, recipes, Swell shows us another winner!
With Swell's passion and knowledge of the simpler times, or so we believe, she has created this book filled with wonderful recipes, such as: Shoofly, Louisiana Peanut and Concord Grape pie.
For all pie lovers and historic cooking lovers, pick up this book too. Swell's pie book is sure to please!

The Lost Art Of Pie Making Made Easy is a slender (72-page) gem of a specialty cookbook dedicated to passing along the pie-making wisdom of an American yesteryear to a new generation of kitchen cooks with an appreciation for old-fashion recipes that range from Double Sour Cherry Amaretto; Aunt Martha's Coconut Cream; Bourbon Pecan; and Mom's Lemon Meringue; to Honey Apple Dumplings, Louisiana Peanut; Hot Fudge Funny Cake, and Vanilla Crumb. The Lost Art Of Pie Making Made Easy is more than just another recipe collection, it is nicely enhanced throughout with such tidbits of advice as how to overcoming pie crust fear and how to host your own pie contest, to insights into just why men love pie and a pie calorie work-off system. Illustrated with vintage photos and laced with advice from 1930's era "Pie Aunts", The Lost Art Of Pie Making Made Easy will prove to be an immediately popular addition to any kitchen cookbook collection -- not to mention family dinner menu planning!
