I was browsing through cookbooks at the local library when I came across a copy of Betty Crocker Bisquick Impossibly Easy Pies: Pies that Magically Bake Their Own Crust. Lets be honest, a cookbook on Bisquick® pies is not gourmet cooking – but it can be fun, quick and easy.

The Naked Chef
I had not seen this cookbook until I met my husband, who was a fan of Jamie Oliver. The book came out in 2000, it is nearly a decade old now. Yet, the age of the book doesn’t show. It was well written, the food photography was ahead of its time and you [...]
