Welcome to Art of the Pie
Kate McDermott, Pie Maker
I'm so glad you found me! I love making pie and more than that, I love teaching pie making. At Art of the Pie® I want to show you that making pie is easier than you think and as American as...well, Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Peach Pie, Chicken Pot Pie and more!
Where to start? If you are a well-seasoned pie maker or missed learning this time-honored craft when you were young, you will find some pie making tips and hints in my BLOG.
Then check out some RECIPES, or LEARN about the Art of the Pie® Workshops that thousands have attended and the multi-day Pie Camp® Retreats that some pie makers return to year after year!
I truly have been baking just about all my life and I'm so excited to share with you my knowledge, recipes and skills.
There’s usually a pie on the kitchen counter at Pie Cottage so, come on in, pull up a chair, sit a spell, and of course, enjoy a piece of pie!
I hope you will join me!
Be Happy, Make Pie!
Kate McDermott, Pie Maker
