It‘s so interesting to read how Ansel came up with his recipes and how he looks at the world through the eyes of a baker. It‘s intense to see some of the advanced recipes take 3 pages of prep, baking, and assembly over many days. However you cannot rush perfection. It gives you time to learn and grow as a baker and get the difficult techniques down. I cannot wait to start baking!

Dilara Oh yes, I have this book and it is intense. I am keeping it for when I am retired and I have the time 😂 9mo
KaylasReadingNook @Dilara The intermediate and expert lessons definitely require a ton of time and dedication 😂 My husband said it wouldn‘t be so bad. I told him about the marshmallow chick in the egg and that it used a real eggshell and he thought it was an expert lesson. When I told him it was a beginner lesson he paled 😅 9mo
Dilara @KaylasReadingNook That's funny 😂. Have you made anything from the book yet? (I haven't) 9mo
KaylasReadingNook @Dilara I haven‘t yet myself but I am planning to this summer. Trying the early recipes and building up to the more extreme 😄 9mo

Cake is fine, but I believe pie is happiness, connection, and love. So this year, I will strive to include all the pies I encounter, in real life and in literature 🔥

First Pie January 1, 2024: Sugar Cream Pie aka Hoosier Pie. It is very good.

Wishing you all much pie, fabulous pie connections, and world peace ☮️

AnnR Yum! 11mo

tpixie That looks delicious! I made a chess pie for bookclub a few months ago- it tasted good but not as beautiful as yours- your pie & crust is beautiful!! 🤩 11mo
BkClubCare @tpixie - aw, thanks! I only can say that I do a LOT of practice, but I feel I still have much to learn and perfect yet. Point is that pie always tastes good pretty or not! Usually 11mo
tpixie @BkClubCare yes! And what a fun thing to practice with! Snap! Now I have to eat a piece of pie! 🥧 11mo

Quince pie 🥧 is in my future. 😁 Anyone encountered quince in their reading recently? Discovered the bush under one of our windows has fruit this year! We‘ve lived here 3 years; first we‘ve noticed. 🤣 This cookbook has a Quince Custard.

BkClubCare Love that the cookbook has “Popular Edition”. Like, is there an UNPOPULAR edition? 13mo
Tamra @BkClubCare 😂 13mo
rockpools I love everything about this! We used to have a quince in our hedge in an old house - it was beautiful! I wonder if one would grow here… (off to Google!). Enjoy your pie! 13mo

Eggs @BookHoarder32 That makes me think so fondly of all the Christmas baking she did🥲! She made things with anise flavoring too, and date bread, cherry nut bread, candies, and every kind of cookie imaginable! I miss how special she made our holidays ❤️ 2y

Appropriately, for Chocolate Covered Anything day, I've brought my favorite holiday candies to work! I am such a sucker for cordial cherries but this brand is secondary. Cella's chocolate cherries are the best and my Nana and I would demolish them!!

Wishing all my Litsy friends a very Happy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day June 9th!

#CaresPieShow #StrawberryRhubarbPie

BookwormM Ohhh looks yummy do you have a recipe 2y
BkClubCare @BookwormM - get thee to a cookbook store and seek Beth M Howard‘s “Ms American Pie”, page 83. (2 pints strawberries 3 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 tapioca— 425 degrees for 15 min then reduce to 375 degrees for 20-30 more) 2y
Gissy Mmmm 😋 2y
Megabooks I keep meaning to make strawberry rhubarb jam. Those look great! (edited) 2y
