DUNCAN McDERMOTT GRAHAM*
Kate’s son, Duncan, has been baking with Kate since he could climb up on the baking counter. Following in the family tradition, Duncan is an award winning pie-maker, and 4th generation teacher. He has been a Pie Camp® counselor since 2013, and a teacher at Art of the Pie since 2018.
“My intent when I moved to Texas to work with a grocery retailer was to really help shape the team through a culinary focus as it’s at the heart of what our bakeries are. This experience did exactly that and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. This wouldn’t have been possible without you and Duncan.” —Nadine Reibeling, HEB, Bakery Business Unit Director, Texas
“Loved the Pie Camp with Duncan. My husband said it was the best pie crust I had ever made. Looking forward to more pies in my future!”— Judy Moss, Port Angeles, WA
“What a great experience! I’ve read many pie recipes and attempted a few myself, but it was so helpful to get practical, hands-on experience with guidance from an expert. Duncan was a great teacher! He explained and modeled each step of the process clearly and was warm and welcoming. Baking pies has intimidated me in the past, but the friendly, relaxed atmosphere made it fun… I came away with tons of new resources, so much more confidence in the kitchen, and a really delicious pie!” —Eliza Triggs, Basel, Switzerland
“Duncan was fantastic!! His friendly, easy-going nature helped me relax and embrace pie-making. I’ve always been so intimidated by pie. I’m a precision baker, typically. Duncan was enthusiastic, encouraging, and most important of all, he helped me make a pie! I felt successful at the end of class and like I’d gotten enough hands-on experience during the class to make the pie myself. He was there to check our work and give us feedback, but we got to do it all! I also really liked that we were shown how to make pies with the most basic of ingredients and tools, but we learned about fancier options that we could invest in if we wanted.” —Jeena Khan, Seattle
“We had such a wonderful time at Pie Class! The day was so relaxed and fun. Duncan welcomed us with open arms – and scrumptious fresh berry pie (which we soon replicated). Learning and fun blended together. We were all hoping to up our pie baking skills. Sure enough, Duncan sprinkled us with aha moments and words of pie wisdom. He’s learned well from Kate and he’s eager to pass it along. Our good fortune – Happy campers – Thank you so much!”— Char Bender, Lake Forest Park WA
“Oh, what fun! What a wonderful way for mother and daughter to spend time together. Duncan’s warm welcome to the Pie Cottage set the tone for a fun 4 ½ hours gathering. His method of teaching took the stress out of pie making. Duncan’s humor, the relaxed atmosphere, his stories and artful guidance made time passed quickly. Having said our good-byes and securing our warm pies for safe travel, we headed for home. With big smiles on our face and in our heart we talked and giggled about the wonderful 4 ½ hours workshop we had just completed.” —Donna Karls, Sequim, WA
