Praise for The Secret to Tender Pie
"Grandmothers' cuisine lives on in grandchildrens' memories more for the affection expressed through the food than for the cooking itself."
-Mark Knoblauch, Washington Post "A valentine to the grandmothers of the world." -LA Times Newsbites "Bessie B. Cecil. Her home cooking inspired her granddaughter to write a recipe book." -Molly Dugan, Sacramento Bee "I hope this book will remind mothers and aunts, fathers and uncles to write down their prized recipes and pass them on to family members." -Donna Segal, Indianapolis Star "Not only is the book a lovely keepsake of the recipes collected by the author from many donors, but also, with almost every grandmother photographed, it is a record of the first sixty years of the twentieth century." -Ann Harwood, Ala Carte in New Jersey Packet "[Tender Pie is] a book of memories, treasured old photographs of grandmothers in their younger days and their kitchen 'secrets'." -Vivian Taylor, Fresno Bee "This is a book that celebrates two of life's treasures: grandmothers and good cooking." -Knight-Ridder news service "The Secret to Tender Pie is jam-packed with gustatory delights from grandma's kitchen." -John Darcy, Peekskill Herald |
"Comfort-food lovers will drool over this quaint, handsome and high-cal collection of favorite recipes from grandmothers across America."
-Paula Chun, People Weekly "Tender Pie is casting director Mindy Marin's compilation of recipes for Grandma's old-fashioned comfort food." -In Style Magazine "It's a compilation of family photos and personal histories, lovingly shared among the generations. It's a lot like looking through a family scrapbook with the recipes tucked in." -Sue Sherman, Tempo "This book strikes at the heart from the moment the dedication page appears from author Mindy Marin: 'For my grandma, Bessie Cecil.'" -Craig Reem, OC Metro "This delightful book of memories and photographs will remind you of who you are, and of what is important to your family's collective history." -Lucy Perez, Kattering Ohio Times "This little book is a treasure from a time when fast food hadn't been invented and love was a main ingredient." -Julie Muhlstein, Everett Washington Herald "This is exactly what Mindy Marin has done in her book The Secret to Tender Pie, as she pays homage to the women who molded and nourished generation after generation of Americans." -Sophia Bicos, Pasadena Weekly |
