HUMBLE PIE
Andrews McMeel, Fall 2005, now in its 2nd printing
The pie, once one of the iconic American symbols as the essence of home cooking, has fallen on hard days as a largely factory-made, store-bought product. Dimock, a deeply committed pie-baker, aims for a pie renaissance, and in this book, a glowing combination of memoir, celebration, cookbook and cultural history, she shows why it is essential and inevitable.

Finalist for the 2006 MINNESOTA BOOK AWARD

"Anne Dimock is the Proust of pie and her remembrance of pies past is meant to inspire the pies to come. This is a lovely and elegant memoir." - Garrison Keillor
