![]() ![]() And it’s really a collaboration between Maida and me. Let me just say that this is a special pie. Our two sons weren’t in their teens yet, but they knew Maida well having sampled every one of the recipes from her first cookbook.īy the time of Maida and Ralph’s visit, her third dessert book, all about chocolate, had been published, and that’s where this recipe comes from. And a few years later, when she and her husband, Ralph, stopped in Missoula on their way to Alaska by car, my wife, Dorothy, and I invited them over for dinner. While I was happily baking and eating my way through her book, Maida and I became pen pals. Too bad there was no internet then or I would have blogged about them all! That’s 276 recipes over a period of 18 months. I was so taken by her writing style and selection of recipes that I couldn’t decide which recipes to try. I got to know Maida through her first cookbook, “Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Desserts,” which came out in 1974. And because the recipe comes from Maida Heatter, the best dessert recipe cookbook author there is. I know that Thanksgiving’s a few weeks away, so why this recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie now? Short answer: Because it’s a terrific pie. ![]()
