Sometimes it is nice to remember times gone by, such as when shopping at the downtown Rich's store took all day. An important part of that day was having lunch in the Magnolia Room.
It was a chance to sit down, relax, check your shopping list and, best of all, order a Chicken Pie and a slice of Pecan Cream Torte (see separate recipe listing) for dessert. Mrs. Perry Walter of Atlanta remembers those shopping sprees and lunches. She requested a recipe for the dessert.
It was answered by Atlantan Jeannie Giddens who sent in both recipes as they appeared in "Secrets From Atlanta's Best Kitchens" by Earlyne S. Levitas. -- Jean Thwaite
