Welcome to Litsy!

The techniques and inspiration you need to achieve �pie confidence� at home. Readers fell in love with Kate McDermott and her story-filled cookbook, Art of the Pie. In this new book, McDermott takes her teaching to the next level. Here, she�s focused more on technique: how to decorate pastry with braided crusts, troubleshoot a custard that won�t set, create beautiful layered pies, and perfectly thicken your fruit filling. Once you have the foundations down, it�s time to mix and match crusts, fillings, and toppings. The dozen �master� recipes�from flaky to tender to cookie crumb crusts, and fruit to cream to chiffon pies�will become part of every pie maker�s repertoire and will open the door for bakers everywhere to conjure pies with self-assurance. There are gluten-free crust options for every pie, including Apple Ginger Maple Bourbon, Raspberry Peach Sunset Chiffon, Double Chocolate Banana... plus recipes for easy homemade ice cream and pie-lets for one or two. Gorgeous color photography by Andrew Scrivani brings Pie Camp to vivid life.
