Sister Pie

<p><strong>A bursting-with-personality cookbook from Sister Pie, the boutique bakery that's making Detroit more delicious every day.</strong><br /><br /><strong>"Everything you want in a pie cookbook: careful directions, baker's secret tips, inspired combinations, and a you-can-do-it attitude."&mdash;<em>Chicago Tribune</em></strong><br /><br /><strong>IACP AWARD FINALIST &bull; NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <em>THE NEW YORK TIMES </em>AND <em>CHICAGO TRIBUNE</em></strong><br /><br />At Sister Pie, Lisa Ludwinski and her band of sister bakers are helping make Detroit sweeter one slice at a time from a little corner pie shop in a former beauty salon on the city's east side. The granddaughter of two Detroit natives, Ludwinski spends her days singing, dancing, and serving up a brand of pie love that has charmed critics and drawn the curious from far and wide. No one leaves without a slice&mdash;those who don't have money in their pockets can simply cash in a prepaid slice from the "pie it forward" clothesline strung across the window. With 75 of her most-loved recipes for sweet and savory pies&mdash;such as Toasted Marshmallow-Butterscotch Pie and Sour Cherry-Bourbon Pie&mdash;and other bakeshop favorites, the Sister Pie cookbook pays homage to Motor City ingenuity and all-American spirit. Illustrated throughout with 75 drool-worthy photos and Ludwinski's charming line illustrations, and infused with her plucky, punny style, bakers and bakery lovers won't be able to resist this book.</p>
