Art of the Pie

Named one of the best cookbooks of 2016 by NPR, Oprah.com, USA Today, and Bon Appétit, *Art of the Pie* is a warm, approachable guide to mastering the craft of pie making. Written by beloved "pie guru" Kate McDermott, who learned the art from her Iowa grandmother, this book blends tradition, technique, and a whole lot of heart. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step guidance on creating perfect crusts (yes, even gluten-free), rolling and baking with confidence, and building fillings that shine. With recipes organized by fruit, style, and sweet or savory focus—think raspberry rhubarb, banana rum caramel coconut, and classic chicken potpie—it’s a deliciously thorough manual wrapped in lush photography and McDermott’s encouraging voice. Equal parts inspiration and instruction, this is the only pie book you'll ever need.
