Excerpt
My pies must always have fine aged cheese for flavor because I cannot imagine many of my recipes, or my life, not touched by a strong essence of wisdom that comes with age. Each pie must be made and served individually because, again, in my life everything must be given exclusively, distinctively, and creatively because there is only you as you stand by yourself. Each of my family and friends must be honored and respected as the individual that she once was, as well as the one she has become, and the woman she dreams of in her future. - Jo Packham
