Retro Pies: A Collection of Celebrated Family Recipes

by Linda Everett

Queen of retro Linda Everett takes us back to a time when all meals were made from scratch and mealtimes were a family affair. From the colonial New England coast to the Wild West, RETRO PIES takes readers on a sojourn for the ultimate in comfort food. Classics such as Miz Lizzie’s Chess Pie, Beacon Hill Apple Pie, Martha’s Cherry Pie, and Red Brick Cafe’s Banana Cream Pie are sure to become favorites all over again. From fruit pies to custard and cream fillings, from the hearty main course meat pies to a pie-dough clinic, RETRO PIES is the definitive guide to pies in America.

great to look at old recipes! Pictures are great too!

Nice little cookbook. I love the illustrations.

This book is a firm believer in the value of cornstarch. It has horrific pictures, as well. Not every recipe looks awful, but some recipes have been lost to our culture for good reasons.
