PIE MAKER GIFT IDEAS Registration for Pie Camps opened this morning and within minutes the first registrations started arriving in my email inbox! Even after ten years, yes, ten years, of teaching pie making, this excitement of this never gets old. I believe that I have the best job ever teaching pie making. It’s something I never […]
Welcome to Art of the Pie
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 Pie Camp® that some pie makers return to year after year and has been featured in many publications!
I truly have been baking just about all my life and I'm so excited to share with you my knowledge, recipes and skills.
While you're here, enjoy some pie history and TRIVIA, too.
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

Thirty-Six Years
Thirty-Six Years That’s how long this Thanksgiving day potluck has been going on. I haven’t been there for all of them…but thirty years ago I came to my first, when Duncan was not quite two years old. Here are some 2018 photos—30 years later! Over the years we have become more than friends. We have […]
When Words Fail, There is Love
When Words Fail, There is Love Yesterday: I cook. I bake. I slip out to the store for more onions. I return, and cook and bake some more. After receiving an early morning message that my friend has lost the family home in a fire (not one of the fires in CA) I spring into action […]
In a Heartbeat
In a Heartbeat I am greeted with news of devastation this morning and how life can change in a heartbeat.
