Review
from the Victoria Times Colonist, Wednesday March 28, 2001
Gotta have that recipe? It's being reprinted
By Grania Litwin
Times Colonist staffA popular local cookbook that was out of print for close to six years is now being sered through a Victoria self-publishing house.
"For the last couple of years we have been receiving phone calls begging us to reprint I've Got To Have That Recipe, so now we are," said Barb Doell, who co-authored the book along with Pebes Pollard and Dianne Winsby in 1986.
The trio followed up with a second equally successful cookbook and together the two titles sold about 60,000 copies.
"They are books for people who like to cook, but who also love doing lots of other things," said Doell, who explained the recipes are quick and easy, so busy people can prepare them in a twinkling, yet they taste and look as if they have taken hours of slaving to prepare.
Doell says most of the recipes are family favourites that were handed down to the three women by their mothers, grandmothers and great-aunts. Many of them were also popularized by Pollard and Winsby (now deceased), who used to run a popular catering service and sell pies to many local restaurants.
"We started out making butter tarts and then began making cheesecakes," said Pollard, who noted that when the business was in full swing Butchart Gardens alone was ordering 25 cheesecakes at a time.
"We worked in the back of Pizza Pieman on Oak Bay Avenue, where we could get nine pies in each of the two ovens. So we could cook 18 pies at a time."
She said the cookbooks have not changed a bit, except to correct one error.
All their beloved recipes are there, including the ones for the famous cheesecakes -- such as amaretto, chocolate Kahlua, lemon, New York and pumpkin walnut -- as well as their immensely popular butter tarts.
"We printed 5,000 copies of our first book, and it sold out in three months," recalled Doell. "Then, because of distribution problems, we decided to sign on with Doubleday."
This time the authors are maintaining control through Trafford Publishing, a process that makes books available to the public through on-demand manufacturing and Internet marketing.
