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

Outlander Kitchen Does It Again
Outlander Kitchen Does It Again A few years back, after cracking open my copy of Outlander Kitchen, I wrote about the delicious savory pie I made. Well, I actually made four recipes created by Chef Theresa Carle-Sanders who, like me, is a devoted Outlander fan. So when I learned that Theresa was writing a follow […]
