First, my heart leapt at the recipes labeled from the 1950s for it was from that very era that I was born into a family of six.  When I spotted the recipe entitled "Lemon Ice Box Pie" I immediately thought of our neighbors, two doors down, who brought us that very pie when my baby sister was born and when someone was ill.  I loved that pie!  I also loved anything with meringue on it. I thought it was magic!  The style of this book with its colorful pictures and easy-to-read text made it even more enjoyable and I liked the author's personal touch when she often spoke of her Mother.  I felt like I was sitting at her kitchen counter watching her cook these recipes, step-by-step and reminded me in the good 'ol days when Moms baked lots of pies for every occasion here in the hot South in Spring and Summer too.  P.S. I appreciated the extra link to the Chef Talk forum - too cool.
