American Pie by Pascale Le Draoulec
"A rich, satisfying account of one woman's cross-country search for the age-old dessert." -- Entertainment Weekly
An engaging and quirky travelogue, cultural and personal excursion, and adventure-cookbook that brings back from the highways and back roads a homemade slice of America
Crossing class and color lines, and spanning the nation (Montana has its huckleberry, Pennsylvania its shoofly, and Mississippi its sweet potato), pie--real, homemade pie--has meaning for all of us. But in today's treadmill, take-out world--our fast-food nation--does pie still have a place?
As she traveled across the United States in an old Volvo named Betty, Pascale Le Draoulec discovered how merely mentioning homemade pie to strangers made faces soften, shoulders relax, and memories come wafting back. Rambling from town to town with Le Draoulec, you'll meet the famous, and sometimes infamous, pie makers who share their stories and recipes, and find out how a quest for pie can lead to something else entirely.
The New York Daily News' food critic is Pascale Le Draoulec. Her pieces appeared in a variety of periodicals and newspapers, including the Gannett wire service and USA Today. She currently resides in New York City. This is her debut novel.
