Meet the Cook: For me, baking is a relaxation rather than a chore. This is one of my favorites, a dessert I adapted from a neighbor's recipe for praline chocolate pie. The house my husband and I live in is in the suburbs, overlooking fields. -Sandra Haase, Baltimore, Maryland

I'm not a huge pumpkin pie fan but feel obligated to make a pumpkin dessert on Thanksgiving. After years of trying various different recipes-pies, cakes, etc. I've finally found one that I love as much as everyone else. Everyone loved the praline layer. I'll be making this again next year. The only problem I had was finding a 10in pastry shell-I had to use a 9 inch (I just cooked the leftovers in small glass jars at the same time). I also want to make my own crust next time as the flavor and texture of premade crust added nothing to the pie. Of course, I've never made my pie crust so that will take some research on my part.
