Summary:
"An Asian immigrant and home baker presents a love letter to her adopted country with recipes for pies from every state such as Mississippi Mud Pie and Kentucky Derby Pie"-- Provided by publisher
Growing up in Singapore, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, Fong watched movies set in the US and dreamed of road-tripping from coast to coast, eating pie at diners along the way. Her book is an ode to her chosen home: honoring the people, places, and flavors that made her fall in love with this country by creating a pie for every state. Each pie is a tribute to its region's unique ingredients and culture. And each is also an opportunity to celebrate-- or defend-- your state's honor. Bake your way through, and taste the full range of flavors that America has to offer! -- adapted from inside back cover
