Pat Willard got her introduction to pie baking at the Bar Ten restaurant in Ravenna, Ohio, where baking great pies every day was no big deal. Now, in this delightful cookbook, she shares her best recipes, plus step-by-step instructions that take the fear out of making crust-as well as warm, witty stories and reflections on the great American pie tradition. From breakfast pies like Potato and Egg to fun pies like Banana Bundles to fancy pies like Empanadas to knock-'em-dead labors of love like Flaming Peach Pie, this down-to-earth collection of recipes is a "sure cure for pie anxiety!"
