She provides more than just recipes with ingredients available via coupon saving or vouchers. There is in the Coupon Saver's Cookbook by Beryl M. Marton a number of useful tips. For example, after the instructions on how to assemble and bake a potato pie, one finds this good advice:

Most pies, pastries and tortes, like roasts, are easier to cut and serve if they are allowed to rest before being sliced. Pastries, pies and tortes settle somewhat, resulting in a firmer body.

The recipe for the potato pie calls for the layering of sliced potatoes in pastry laid out in a deep pie plate. The layers are seasoned with garlic and parsley. The top crust is draped over the top, the edges crimped and a slash made in the centre through which good, rich, heavy cream is poured (a half cup). The pie is brushed with an egg wash (to give the crust golden colour) and baked for an hour.
