Recovered from the pages of a promotional book, based on the writings of hard-to-find Boston Cooking School Magazine editor, published back in 1916, these delicious pastry and pie recipes -- which had been hidden away for nearly 100 years -- have come back to life and will surely delight your family and get you rave reviews around the kitchen table. These sinfully-good recipes harken back to days when cooks used natural foods and didn't give a hoot about calories, fats or carbs. They created recipes that delivered flavor. They brought forth from their ovens tasty treats and hearty comfort foods that their friends and family could love. Ingredients are simple, so no need to stock up on hard-to-find staples. No special baking tools are necessary. Simple directions make the process of baking the best pastry and pies in your hometown a breeze. We were inspired by the simplicity of the directions offered by Janet McKenzie Hill, who served as editor of the famous Boston Cooking School Magazine in the early 1900's. Her directions are still amazingly clear and concise nearly 100 years later. But don't hesitate to experiment on your own and flavor your pastry and pie desserts with our own style and ideas.
