We are featuring a wonderful volume from our historical cookbook collection – PIE ! by Patricia White. Our copy was gifted to our collection by Dr. Frieda Elaine Penninger,  This delicious collection of 77 pie recipes was published in 1969 by Simon and Schuster.  It contains recipes ranging in flavor from savory to sweet, vegetable to meat to fruit pies.  Patricia White includes “all the secrets of baking Pie” – how to measure and mix and blend and handle pastry. It talks about crusts and lattices and how to decorate and glaze them. We are sharing three sweet pie recipes here that we hope you will find enticing!
