New PieChef.com!
My webmaster (that's my pie-loving husband, Tom) is making some technical changes to PieChef.com, so you may notice a different look. Pages should be easier to read and use, but don't worry—my recipes and pie stories are all still the same, and pie crust is still easy to make!
Also, this won't change: no intrusive ads, pop-ups, pop-unders, sliders, gliders, newsletter sign-up forms, etc.—things I hate. Only a few ads to pay the web-server bill, mostly those I believe are actually useful.
Hope you like the new look!

Make Your Own Pie Crust!
"4 Ingredients, 4 Minutes"
The first objection I get — the one I always hear — is “I can’t make a pie crust. It’s just too difficult.
But really, it isn’t!
Remember the old expression "easy as pie"? That’s what I aim to prove. I urge you not to be afraid of making a pie crust. It’s simple, quick and easy! Four ingredients, four minutes! I’ll show you how in a short video.

Pie Recipes
I have a lot of pie recipes, many handed down from relatives, and I’ll share the stories that go along with them. For the most part these are simple pies that use fresh ingredients, not complicated concoctions that will send you off to the gourmet market.
You won’t find a recipe for every pie ever invented on PieChef.com, but you will find dozens of my favorites, along with tips on how to become a pie chef yourself. Start with my Easy Pie Crust. In no time you’ll be making my Pie of the Month.

Why not start by reading some pie stories?
You’ll learn why my blueberry pie is celestial. How they make a pumpkin pie “Down Under.” Even how to make a delicious vegan chocolate pie out of…tofu?!
Each pie story leads to a pie recipe. That’s the way it works on PieChef.com!
