They say love can be tasted in the food that's prepared, especially when it's for family and friends. Some might say pies are the ultimate comfort food and are a true measure of a woman's cooking prowess. Author Patty Pinner lovingly remembers the domestic divas of her Michigan childhood as they cooked their way into a man's heart through pies in Sweety Pies.
