No retired, Betty lives on the shore of Lake Superior near the Stewart River, within sight of the new Betty's Pies restaurant. Her three schnauzers are active company on daily walks.

A Cookbook for Fearless Dessert-Lovers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Betty's Pies Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
Forget the calories, cholesterol and carbs. This cookbook is for people who LOVE A GOOD DESSERT. Everything in here is great. The reason? Fat and sugar! The recipes are loaded. And, are you sitting down? Betty recommends that your pie crusts be made with LARD. Yeah, that old four-letter word.
This is the cookbook I pull out when I'm fixing dessert for company, folks who are too polite to ask if I used egg-substitute or non-transfat oils and who aren't afraid to ask for seconds. Every pie, cake, cookie recipe delivers, and my guests go away happy. Save all those healthy things for everyday eating. For that once in a while smash hit dessert, you need Betty!

mmm...home baked pie,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Betty's Pies Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
I love this cookbook, or rather "bakebook." Not only are the pies fabulous, but the book leads with the history of the namesake restaurant, and that, my friends, is what really endears me to this publication. If you're traveling Minnesota's North Shore (and I highly recommend that you do) you simply must stop. It's not just a meal, it's an event! You can't help but take a piece of the place and its people with you when you leave, and this book will help you keep your memories forever alive. And--for those of you who don't actually bake, but love to buy cookbooks anyway? This one is welcome and comforting, like an embrace from a dear old friend. Buy the book! :)

Best pie and baking cook book out there!,
By Joni (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Betty's Pies Favorite Recipes (Paperback)
I bought this book because my daughter inlaw said it had the best recipe for french silk pie she has every tasted. Well, we made the pie and it was great but to sweet. So I re-did the french silk with 1/2 cup less sugar in the pie and it was better tasting then even bakers square. I haven't had a chance to try any other recipes yet. But if this recipe is anything close to the others this lady has, it will be the best book on the market. I am very happy with buying this cook book.
You will be the talk of any party or family gathering if you make this french silk pie.
