I've made the peach custard pie from 's Ten Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove, and found it simple, tasty, and not too rich. The custard is more of the floury-eggy than the creamy kind, so the total pie was a lot like a clafouti in a crust.
Tangentially tangentially, I think it was in a review of Schenone's book in The Women's Review of Books that I ran across a reference to Sunset Magazine being an early proponent of snow peas, which Grow Your Own Chinese Vegetables was unexpectedly surprised by. If Sunset was an early proponent of such things, establishing them among West Coast epicureans before they became familiar to the rest of the country, then that explains both why Grow... seems behindhand to me, and why Sunset still trades on an image of almost-bohemian inventive consumption.
