TRANSPARENT PIE I’d heard of it. Seen a few references in books. Searched in my personal pie library for recipes. Found just a few. Read them all. Closed the books. Slept on it. Slept on it some more. Put it on the back burner, so to speak, for months. Late yesterday afternoon I was inspired […]
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

What I’m Reading
WHAT I’M READING Lest you think that ALL I do is related to pie, here are two books that I enjoyed reading this summer, that are worth a read if you are looking for something for Memorial (oops!) I mean Labor Day Weekend. After reading it, I went to see the movie version of The […]
Fudgy Brownies for Two Hundred
Fudgy Brownies for Two Hundred No, I haven’t gone over the deep end with a chocolate addiction, although I do enjoy a good piece of chocolate, especially when it is from small bean to bar artisan producers. Right now I’m deep in a project that brings me great joy. Tomorrow is my god-daughter Katie’s wedding […]
