Welcome to Art of the Pie

Final-No-URL

workshop40918_106I'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 Virtual Art of the Pie® Workshops that thousands have attended and Pie Camp® that has been featured in many publications and now is held virtually so you can bake along with me right in your own kitchen using your own equipment and oven. What could be easier than that!

Morello Cherries & Cherry Pie (Photo: Art of the Pie) 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

Here’s another recipe and baking technique that we just weren’t able to find room for in the pages of Pie Camp. Diane came to Pie Camp in early 2016 and soon after began writing a pie-seeking travel blog called People, Places and Pies. In one entry, she writes of baking pies on the grill, which […]

HOW TO BAKE AN OUTDOOR CAMPFIRE PIE

04/14/2021 By Kate McDermott-Art of the Pie 4 Comments

HOW TO BAKE AN OUTDOOR CAMPFIRE PIE In our day, baking a pie in a wood-burning cookstove is something very few will experience. In addition to having access to a working cookstove, it takes time, skill, wood sized for the firebox, plus the patience to heat that baby up, and keep it at temperature. Oh […]

Spinach, Onion, and Cheese Quiche

02/25/2021 By Kate McDermott-Art of the Pie 2 Comments

Is a quiche a pie or a tart? By the strictest definition, a pie with only a bottom crust is a tart. Janet Clarkson writes in her book, Pie: A Global History, of the lively debate in the 1920s in which “the Oxford English Dictionary, the erudite nineteenth century readers of The Times, and the […]

A little help for our friends

02/19/2021 By Kate McDermott-Art of the Pie 3 Comments

Right now our friends in Texas need us. They are part of our family. The big human family that includes all of us. You. Me. The neighbor next door, the family across the street and up the block, the one the next town over, that girl in the hospital, that man waiting to cross the […]

Aquafaba Meringue

02/13/2021 By Kate McDermott-Art of the Pie 2 Comments

Make meringue from bean-water? I let the idea roll around in my mind until I was making a quick hummus for lunch, saved the liquid from the canned garbanzos, took a deep breath, and made a meringue from it. I was amazed to find the results to be very similar to Basic Meringue, not tasting […]
