<b>Legendary Recipes from Virginia's Queen of Pie</b> Mrs. Rowe, known fondly as "the Pie Lady" by legions of loyal customers, was the quintessential purveyor of all-American comfort food. Today her family carries on this legacy at the original Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant and Bakery in Staunton, Virginia, as well as at the new country buffet. The restaurant's bustling take-out counter sells a staggering 100 handmade pies every day! With the pies being snapped up that quickly, it's no wonder that Mrs. Rowe urged her customers to order dessert first. In <i>Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies</i>, recipes for Southern classics like <b>Key Lime Pie</b> and <b>Pecan Fudge Pie</b> sit alongside restaurant favorites like <b>French Apple Pie </b>and<b> Original Coconut Cream Pie</b>. Additional recipes gathered from family notebooks and recipe boxes include regional gems like <b>Shoofly Pie</b> and <b>Lemon Chess Pie</b>. With berries and custards and fudge--oh my!--plus a variety of delectable crusts and toppings, this mouthwatering collection offers a little slice of Southern hospitality that will satisfy every type of sweet tooth--and convince even city slickers to take the time to smell the <b>Fresh Peach Pie</b>.
