Author Cynthia Hill Durham has compiled a vast collection of historically based recipes in this delightfully written cookbook. While the recipes are steeped in history they are still as modern as today as the author has offered recipe updates (with notes about the original ingredients) for some of the recipes. Some of the older recipes needed no updating at all.There are numerous recipes for pie crusts and some that include liquor to help tenderize the pastry. Some of the pie crusts are made from cookies or cereal so not all the pie crusts are the typical flour and fat variety.Some of the recipes you will find in this cookbook include:Egg Crust for Meat PiesButter Pie CrustCereal Pie CrustCoconut Pie ShellVodka Pie CrustGerman Cream PieButtermilk Apple PieJelly PieIrish Potato PieLemon Pie #1Chocolate PiePumpkin Pie (Cooked using a cooked pumpkin not from the can)Eggless Pumpkin PieRaisin Cream PieRipe Tomato PieCarrot PieMartha Washington PieMince Pie Mixture (MYO Mincemeat)Cider Jelly PieMedieval Hamburger PieBeef PiePork PieChicken Pot PieHighly recommend.
