Southern Baked: Celebrating Life with Pie

Pies are perennial, but no one ever claimed they’re easy to make. Amanda Dalton Wilbanks, owner of The Southern Baked Pie Company in Georgia, wants to change that. With only one pastry recipe, pies of every size can be made for any meal: full-size, mini, tassies, and handheld pies both savory and sweet. Each chapter features a full menu centered on a holiday or occasion, with recipes for side dishes, appetizers, and more to complement the flavors of the starring pie. Hardcover.

Amanda Wilbanks opened her first retail bakery in Gainesville, Georgia, in 2012. Southern Baked Pie Company now has three retail locations in Georgia and a distribution center for shipping pies across the country.
