That raspberry pie looks wonderful (my absolute favourite fruit and one that seems to get even better with cooking). I cannot replicate my mother's mashed potatoes (tho she says she prefers mine!!!) and her soups are out of this world - but when I follow her instructions mine just never have that X factor.Hester @ Alchemy in the Kitchenhttp://www.alchemyinthekitchen.ienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342867947056717995.post-57337805918768390382016-10-11T04:05:49.124-07:002016-10-11T04:05:49.124-07:00Of all the things you make, I'm surprised, Sue...Of all the things you make, I'm surprised, Sue!

Also, she is a much better maker of pastry than I am! I keep trying, though, and would definitely make an effort for a pie this gorgeous.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681732058311386672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342867947056717995.post-66327854543109282332016-09-30T05:21:36.519-07:002016-09-30T05:21:36.519-07:00Thanks, Liz.
