About Mrs. Rowe’s Little Book of Southern Pies
Legendary Recipes from Virginia’s Queen of Pie
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 Mrs. Rowe’s Little Book of Southern Pies, recipes for Southern classics like Key Lime Pie and Pecan Fudge Pie sit alongside restaurant favorites like French Apple Pie and Original Coconut Cream Pie. Additional recipes gathered from family notebooks and recipe boxes include regional gems like Shoofly Pie and Lemon Chess Pie. 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 Fresh Peach Pie.

Praise
Writer and poet Bryan follows up 2006’s Mrs. Rowe’s Restaurant Cookbook by zeroing in on the Virginia establishment’s highly lauded desserts. Bryan’s compilation of 65 recipes hits all the sweet spots, offering reliable standards like peach, blueberry, coconut cream and sweet potato pies, as well as caramel coconut, german chocolate and watermelon variations. Though most of the recipes are basic, achieving the perfect crust isn’t; Bryan offers patient tutelage and step-by-step photos, but acknowledges that Mrs. Rowe’s technique took years to master. Even experienced pie makers should pick up a trick or two; Virginia’s Almost Impossible Coconut Pie, for instance, has no crust–the custard filling creates a firm outer layer when baked. Those looking to tweak their crust might want to consider cream cheese, which makes a tangier product than butter and flour alone. Bakers stymied by weeping meringues, meanwhile, will be comforted by the restaurant’s "weepless" version, bolstered with salt and cornstarch. Seasoned pie pros and newbies will both find this ode to southern desserts a helpful and lasting resource. (July)
–Publishers Weekly, 6/8/09
"Those pies! Man, oh, man. Like no other. She made a butterscotch pie that we would buy whole and take up to my granny’s in Bluefield, West Virginia. I can taste it now." –Kendra Bailey Morris, "Accidental Chef" columnist, Richmond Times Dispatch
