Editorial Review:

Product Description“Women sharpen women. I’m convinced that you can learn a lot about a woman based on what she feeds herself and the people she loves; a woman’s recipes--especially her prized recipes--are a revelation of who the woman is: what she thinks, how she behaves, what she values, and how she lives her life.”
This is a collection of 70 such 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 or everything.” This is a cookbook that’s about love, life, family, friendship, and community as much as it is about the recipes.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love the book, love the pies, love the stories!!!
I Love Southern Cooking

I have purchased many cookbooks and I always try to improve on existing recipes. The stories in this book are wonderful and heartfelt. I tried the Peach Cobbler and it was wonderful, much better than mine own. The crust was the best I ever ate or tried to cook. I have cook pie crust in the past that were a horrible. I cooked my husband's favorite pie, Rhubard Pie and I got Star status after the first bite. The book reminds me of my own family experiences and of love ones who are now deceased.

I also bought her other book, "Sweets," best Carmel Cake, ever.
Thank you Patty Pinner.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Pies and Advice
Bought the book for my wife and she loves it - she loves the anecdotes and the recipes as well.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely fantastic!
I adored this book - it's just as much fun to sit and read the womanish wisdom as it is to bake the pies. Truly yummy food and even better writing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful stories along with mouthwatering recipes
From the moment the book was in my hand I could not put it down. I became so mesmerized by the stories and lives of these women whom belonged these signature recipes. This is a very special book. A womanly book of old time feminine charm. More than a cookbook. Fantastic recipes.
