Episode 96: Kate McDermott

Episode 2 of our Spring 2021 Pie Week 🥧

Called a “pie guru” by Sunset magazine and the “pie-making queen” by Chowhound, Kate’s name has become synonymous with the practice of home-baking pies infused with care and confidence. Thousands of people have joined her workshops, including her 3-day Pie Camp, in Washington State and around the world.

Her first cookbook — Art of the Pie — was nominated for a James Beard award. She followed it up with Home Cooking, breaking from pie just long enough to offer fans delectable recipes for some of her best comfort foods.
