My Days Are Full Right now I think a lot about how I might reinvent myself to restart a cash flow once we get to the other side of the virus. But it doesn’t stop me as there is lots to do. My days are full of cooking, baking, weeding and planting. It’s a rhythm […]
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

Shifting Gears
Shifting Gears Can be it really be two months? Two whole months that you haven’t heard from me? Well, I did need a break to catch my breath after writing book three, but when my brother texted me earlier this week telling me that one of his friends who follows me asked “Is your sister […]
