Anne Dimock

This book was not what I expected it to be. I expected it to have more then the handful of recipes it stingeyly doled out. One recipe for each of the 6 flavors she covered...apple, blueberry, apple cranberry, Rhubarb and a recipe for pie crust.

After listening to her interview on Npr I expected...well quiet frankly much more from this book. Like various recipes and many tips on making pies...the right way. Not from cans and frozen crust.

Alas the book is instead a...caring and loving show more throughtful salute to the women who shaped her pie making life, her grandma, mom, and mother in law...sprinkled with a few tips and recipes here and there.

But obviously a work of love. show less
