Pie School by Kate Lebo

Part of our curated collection at CAPERS Home, Pie School: Lessons in Fruit, Flour & Butter by Kate Lebo is a baking essential for home cooks and culinary enthusiasts alike. With gorgeous photographs by Rina Jordan and Amy Johnson, and contributions by Jenn Elliott Blake and Rachel Grunig, this cookbook elevates every baking experience.

Since the first publication of Pie School in 2014, Kate Lebo has inspired bakers everywhere with her witty and encouraging lessons on all things flaky and sweet. This completely revised and updated edition includes 20 brand-new pies—including two new chapters, one on savory meat or vegetable pies and one on “difficult” (lesser-known) fruit pies—plus updates to the originals (80 in total). Her proven process to achieve flakiness and structure, along with recipes for delicious, inspired fillings, will give home cooks all the skills they need to make the best pie of their lives. Beyond the bake, Lebo also invites us to ruminate on the social history, the meaning, and the place of pie in the pantheon of favorite foods.
