Arkansas Pie: A Delicious Slice of the Natural State (American Palate)
In the book "Arkansas Pie," travel and food writer Kat Robinson takes us to all four corners of the state to explore our deep love for this old-fashioned dessert. Robinson sampled more than 400 different varieties of pie, learning interesting histories and traditions along the way. From fried pies and fruit pies, to cream pies, chocolate pies and even possum pies, this book covers it all. Plus, it's also chock full of stories, photographs and recipes (like Ashley's Brown Sugar Pie and Brown Sugar Custard) and a directory of "Great Arkansas Pie Places." It s a must-read for any true Southerner or pie lover. Available locally at Wordsworth & Co. and other booksellers. --Little Rock Soirée
