Love this article! How perfect to blend one's identity of mother, daughter, wife and woman with the age old art of pie baking. For many of us pie recipes, tips and techniques have been handed down through the generations - some more successfully than others! Every time I bake a pie, loving thoughts of my grandmother are conjured. I share every morsel of her being with my sons as they help bake or sit nearby studying. My husband comes home to the scent of warm apple pie and the feeling of family. At times, I wonder when my boys go to college who will keep me company while I bake? So glad to know that Catherine Clark and King Arthur will be there for me.
