Irish Oatmeal It’s great to be home. Sweet Gretapie with her tail a-wagging, and Mr Fez purring and rubbing up against my legs, greet me as soon as I walk in the door. The morning after, Duncan pops in to welcome me home. Later, I run into folks I know when I venture into town. […]
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

Ireland Days #5-6
Ireland Days #5-6 This is Fluffy, a harbor cat who lives in Portmagee. I think Fluffy sees a lot of travelers pass this way. He knows how to strike a pose. I board a small boat with ten others to visit The Skelligs. I hope to be able to walk the more than 600 steps […]
