My Week in Santa Barbara In just a few hours, I will step back onto the big silver bird and head back home. My week in Santa Barbara sharing the craft of crust has been wonderful. I have connected with old friends, and made new friends, too. Walking around my town is so nostalgic for […]
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

Why?” and then I clicked on the screen shot of the updated cover with new title […]

One of Those Days
One of Those Days It’s one of those days. I wake up. Pull back the curtain by my bed. It’s still dark. There is a thin band of light shining round the window shade from the house across the street. I let the curtain drop. Greta is asleep on her bed. Mr Fez is curled […]
