I’ve had cakes on my mind these last couple of weeks as much as I have pie, in large part because we’ve been sampling cake from The Harvest Baker at book signings here in the south recently. Nobody can question my love of pies, but the cakes in The Harvest Baker are so wildly wonderful […]
Flowerpot Bread, Ebooks, and Where The Heck Is My Pie Pan?
July 15, 2017 by
The Harvest Baker Update: Herb and Veggie Flowerpot Bread Did you know that you could bake bread in a flowerpot? Apparently a lot of cooks don’t, and maybe that’s why the Herb and Veggie Flowerpot Bread from The Harvest Baker is getting a lot of buzz online. Here’s the photo of the recipe from the […]
The Harvest Baker Book Trailer
June 24, 2017 by
I always love to watch the trailers when I go to the movies. A well made trailer hits all the right notes, builds suspense and, if it’s done well, makes you greatly anticipate the flick in question. Or, in this case, the book in question, that being my new cookbook – The Harvest Baker. I’ll […]
How to Get Your Pie Dough into the Pie Pan
June 11, 2017 by
So you’ve got a big, sugared-and-spiced bowlful of berries at the ready. Your pie dough is rolled into a near perfect circle, waiting patiently on the counter, and you face the one last hurdle of getting it into your pan, in one piece, before your pie goes in the oven. How are you going to […]

An Avalanche of Good Feedback – Yours – For The Good Cooks Academy
April 1, 2017 by
I hadn’t intended to, but I’m going to skip pie this week so we can pick up the conversation where we left off last week, a conversation that’s continued all week long with a flood of emails from you about my forthcoming website, The Good Cooks Academy. However, I hate to disappoint so if you […]
Sign up now for The Good Cooks Academy
March 26, 2017 by
For some time now an idea has been percolating up in my gray matter and now I’m ready, at last, to spill the beans and hear what you think. You already know that I love making pies and teaching others how to do it, and that’s not about to change any time soon. We’ll continue […]
Atlantic Beach Pie
February 25, 2017 by
I know you never do this, but I was meandering around the internet last week, doing a perfectly fine job of putting off whatever it was I was supposed to be doing, when I stumbled across a mention of a dessert called Atlantic Beach Pie. It caught my eye because Atlantic Beach – the one […]
Brats and Beer Pot Pie
February 5, 2017 by
No one has come forward to point out my glaring oversight, but somehow September 23rd, 2016 – National Great American Pot Pie Day – came and went without notice, flying completely under my radar. My apologies: I intended no slight. But shame on me anyway for not tipping my hat to a category of pies […]
