Author Description

There's no more Arkansas dish than pie. From early days of savory pies of wild game to our love of a sweet end to everyday meals, pie has been part of our culinary landscape for centuries. In her 12th book, author and food historian Kat Robinson takes a deep dive into the wide span of pie recipes from our historic and current restaurants, home cooks, and hundreds of church and community cookbooks to create a curated collection of classic pies complete with tested recipes, stories, and full-color photography. With more than 200 recipes, The Great Arkansas Pie Book covers the spectrum of dough-borne delights both sweet and savory, with nods to the common and the unusual. This is the cookbook for true pie lovers who want an authentic slice of The Natural State.
