With chapters like Pies to Heal, Pies to Seduce, and Pies to Win the Iowa State Fair, Beth will divulge her secret for making a killer crust without refrigerating the dough and will show you how to break every rule youve ever learned about making delicious, homemade pie.Book specifications:Dimensions: 254 x 203Author: Beth M.
