Speaking of Pies
Nov 18, 2008 | From the kitchen of Rose
We were riding back from Hope this weekend and I was catching up with my professional publications reading as usual when my eyes opened wider as, to my surprise and delight, I spied a beautiful ad for my pie plate! It appeared in the next publication I read as well.
I asked my friend Robert Laub, the owner of Harold Imports, if he could send me a copy of the ad to share with you. And I'm adding the link right away should you decide you really need it in time for your Thanksgiving pies!
Rose's Perfect Pie Plate with Recipe Booklet
P.S. You'll be glad to know that this is not a deep dish pie plate--it's the standard 4 cup capacity required for most pies. It is, however, a good idea to make extra pie dough to take full advantage of the deeply scalloped edges. And, of course, it makes a lovely serving piece to bring to the table for vegetables or other savory dishes.

I am going to order your pie plate, and I can't wait to try it! Do I still have to fold 1/2' under the edge of the crust when placing it into the fluting on the pan. Should I do this with an Emile Henry pan with a fluted edge?

Have you all gotten one of Rose's Pie Plate? If you haven't you should! It is well made. Heat conduction is great. And it is one fairly 'inexpensive' decorative pie plate compared to other brands.

Nancy , I talked to the lady at the Junior League in Monroe Louisiana, and she said you may get in touch with them at their web site , www.juniorleaguemonroe.com to purchase the Old Cotton Country Cookbook , it was printed in 1972 I think . They also have 2 new cookbooks you may be interested in . I want to thank Rose for letting me put this on her web site .

I'm getting ready for Christmas baking and I used to have a wonderful recipe for pecan pie from an old Junior League cookbook from Monroe, LA. I lost the cookbook and of course, cannot remember the details of the pie. I always put more pecans than the recipe called for but it had the usual sugars and syrup but the butter was one whole stick and 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice was added. It also had 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring. Does anyone out there have a similar recipe?

I have this pie plate and have always loved it. I've even used it for other things as Rose suggests, such as serving rolls, etc., since it's so attractive.
By the way, I did a double take on the ad as far at your book name...until I noticed the parentheses.

That is the coolest pit plate I have ever seen! That would definately help my issues with the the edges of my pie crusts. I'm going to have to add that to my Christmas List!

beautiful add and pie plate. I love mines and have it always out for display. Want to re-point out that Rose's pie plate has a smooth completely flat and unglazed outside bottom which allows for direct contact with bottom heat for the most flaky and perfectly baked pie crusts. I have a similar pie plate but with not a perfectly smooth bottom, but with small raised corners, which does not work that well.
Does it still come with the beautifully crafted gift box?

OK...now you've done it. I HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PIE PLATE! I've always used pyrex pie plates because I like to be able to see what is going on underneath...but The plate is so beautiful, and Red! I love red. My kitchen aid mixer is red, my food processor is red...red red red. The only thing is that we have a rule in our apartment...due to the lack of space, especially kitchen space: If something comes in, something must go. So it looks like my sister is getting some new pyrex pie plates. (By the way...kitchen was put back in order yesterday, will resume cooking today!
