White Bean Soup Recipe I don’t consider myself a writer. A home baker, yes–but writer? Well, that has come as a big surprise. When writing Art of the Pie, I had no idea what I was doing. I thought one handed in a sheaf of recipes, went to some photo shoots, and then everything would […]
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

It’s from the website Action for Happiness and December 2019 is Kindness Month. The website shares these words, “The festive season should […]
Head Wear
Head Wear When I bake, I do not like getting hair in my work. Inevitably it does on occasion happen to all of us, but seeing a hair in a filling or dough does not spark joy in my life in any way. Those who have been to Pie Camp will recall that I cover […]
37 Years
37 Years That’s how many years it has been going on…the Thanksgiving Potluck that I attend…37 years and counting. That’s more years than I was old when I started coming to it. Duncan was not quite two years old. He’s nearly thirty-three now. I’ve not come to all thirty-seven of the gatherings. I’ve probably missed […]
