I’m really excited about launching the Why Not Pie Blog.
This venue will give me the space to post recipes, comments, stories and conversations and wax on eloquently about pie.
Pie is nothing new. As a foodstuff, it’s got a long and glorious history — one that even pre-dates the US of A, the place that considers pie as American as itself. Certainly pies were around in the Middle Ages, when they were known as pyes. According to both Time Magazine and Wikipedia, pies were prepared in ancient times by both the Greeks and the Romans.
Pie is nothing new for me either. I’ve been baking pies for more than three decades, but I’ve only gotten serious about pie in the last two plus years since I started Why Not Pie. In that time, I’ve tried dozens of recipes and made hundreds of pies.
One of the best things about pie is sharing it. Making a pie for someone else is an act of generosity, care, and kindness, and it’s something I really enjoy.
This blog is one more way to share the joy of pie!
