This month’s cookbook feature is “Pies Men Like”  from 1953.

Pies Men Like 1953

 

Don’t let the gender specific title distract (Do men like pies? I wonder which ones? Huh…) or put you off, these pies are indeed for everyone to enjoy.

“Pies Men Like” is a delightful collection of some of the most icon pie recipes of Mid-century America. It also includes recipes for pie crusts, pie tips, and even apple recommendations for a perfect apple pie.  Published by the “Personnel and Employe [sic] Relations Staff for General Motors Men and Women” it is itself a little slice of Americana.

Featuring bright, full-color photos we felt inspired to hit the kitchen and start baking these classic pie recipes.
