Pie Schoolinvites readers to DIY chevre, flavor extracts, pumpkin purees, as well as embrace old-school techniques like rendering your own lard for pie crust.
Kate Lebo's humorous, thoughtful, and encouraging voice shines throughout the book. Not content to just share some great pie recipes, she also invites us to ruminate on the social history, the meaning, and the place of pie in the pantheon of favorite foods. Readers will emerge with a deeper understanding of how to connect their baking practices to their local foodsheds and family traditions—plus all the skills they need to make the best pie of their lives.
