Book description
I repost this every year on Pie Day, March 14.I initially found this book on the recommendation shelf at the library. Although I am not a genera reader of light memoirs, I decided to pick this up none the less. Pascale Le Draoulec was raised in a French American household near Los Angeles, never celebrated the Fourth of July or Thanksgiving, and had never eaten a slice of pie until college. Suddenly she finds herself changing jobs and moving from San Francisco to New York and decides to take three weeks and drive crosscountry searching for the perfect piece of pie in each state along the way. With assistance from a friend and Betty- her stationwagon- the journey begins. Once reaching New York and settling in, however, LeDroulec feels that she did not experience all that Americana has to offer so she took another journey across the lower 48 states with the same friend in a new stationwagon named Betty Blue with a rolling pin atop the back license plate. On this trek the ladies sample pumpkin, cherry, apple, blueberry, pecan, and every other pie imaginable. They are invited into homes and women and a few men take the time to chat with them about why their pie is special and of course each piece tastes like a slice of heaven. Not only does LeDraoulec find perfect pieces of pie, she witnesses what makes up the fabric of America as a unique melting pot culture, something she lacked growing up in a Francophile home. I found this book refreshing as I had to relax thinking about the time it takes to prepare a pie. What LeDraoulec observed is that the majority of pie bakers are older women and the craft might unfortunately die with them. In this age of social media and 24 hour news cycles, no one has time to bake anymore. I hope this isnt necessarily the case, but even myself, a gourmet style cook, usually buys readymade pie shells as opposed to making my own. Perhaps I should take a step back, breathe in Americana, and wake up one day and prepare that perfect pie shell. After all, LeDraoulec includes most of the recipes for the pies she samples on her quest to find the perfect slice. I recommend this 4 star book to those who enjoy light memoirs, 50 state travelogues, and food books.
