Table of ContentsReviewsOn the heels of 2021's Rust Belt Vegan Kitchen, Belt's creative director tackles a more ubiquitous and crowd-pleasing subject, with recipes spanning old classic pies such as funeral and sawdust; regional originals like the Nation of Islam's bean pie and Indiana's sugar cream Hoosier pie; desperation pies that relied on pantry staples when times were tough (chess, shoofly, mock apple); midwestern produce pies (persimmon chiffon); and retro relics (cottage cheese, chocolate rum). -Mike Sula, Chicago Reader Author InformationMeredith Pangrace is a designer and food enthusiast from Cleveland, Ohio.
