What is a holiday season without some great tasting, warm pie, sometimes by the fireplace.
Many of us have so many wonderful family memories relaxing together and enjoying pie, tea and conversation.
What is your favorite pie? There are so many choices out there.
Do you choose to purchase or make one? If you hope to make a great tasting pie this season, we found a book on Amazon that might help.
It is on the New York Times best seller list. Sounds sweet.
The Book on Pie: Everything You Need to Know to Bake Perfect Pies Hardcover – November 10, 2020
by Erin Jeanne McDowell (Author), Mark Weinberg (Photographer)
“Look no further than The Book on Pie for the only book on pie you’ll ever want or need.
Erin Jeanne McDowell, New York Times contributing baker extraordinaire and top food stylist, wrote the book on pie, a comprehensive handbook that distills all you’ll ever need to know for making perfect pies. The Book on Pie starts with the basics, including ways to mix pie dough for extra flaky crusts, storage and freezing, recipe size conversions, and expert tips for decorating and styling, before diving into the recipes for all the different kinds of pies: fruit, custard, cream, chiffon, cold set, savory, and mini. Find everything from classics like Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie, to more inspired recipes like Birthday-Cake Pie and Caramel Pork Pie with Chile and Scallions.
Erin also suggests recommended pie doughs and toppings with each recipe for infinitely customizable pies: Mix and match Pumpkin Spice Pie Dough and Dark Chocolate Drippy Glaze with the Pumpkin Pie, or sub in the Chive Compound-Butter Crust for the Croque Madame Pielets . . . the possibilities are endless. With helpful tips, photographic guides, and inspirations—pie-deas—it’s almost like having Erin in the kitchen baking pies with you.”
Are you inspired? We are. And a little hungry for dessert.
What might be some tasty options?
No matter what flavor and make of pie you choose, you will almost always need eggs.
The team at www.webmd.com shares, “With science on our side, we can once again enjoy the wonderfully nutritious egg. Along with milk, eggs contain the highest biological value (or gold standard) for protein. One egg has only 75 calories but 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.”
Even in modern times, the egg is still an important staple.
The American Egg Board sure thinks so.
They share their mission at incredibleegg.org, “The American Egg Board (AEB) was created by an Act of Congress in 1976 at the request of America’s egg farmers, who desired to pool resources for national category-level egg marketing.
Home to The Incredible Egg and Egg Nutrition Center, AEB is dedicated to increasing demand for all U.S. eggs and egg products. For more than 40 years, America’s egg farmers have supported this mission by funding the AEB. The AEB is 100 percent farmer-funded, and those funds directly support the research, education and promotion necessary to market eggs.
We are honored to serve America’s egg farmers.”
Sounds like a great purpose.

Whether you are a pumpkin bread beginner or can temper chocolate like a professional, a new recipe can help reinspire the love of whipping up scrumptious homemade goods.
“Even in the spookiest season, there is nothing to fear about fall baking. Mastering new techniques can be as simple as trying out a new kitchen tool, a new process for elevating a dish, or the addition of a reliable, beloved essential like the egg to a favorite recipe,” said Sue Coyle, director of integrated marketing at the American Egg Board. “Eggs are the essential ingredient to all of your fall baking needs, because they provide the functional firepower to take your dishes from good to great.”
From cakes to pie crusts and more, eggs enhance texture, crumb, rise and other aspects of your dishes.
One easy way the Incredible Egg suggests leveling up fall favorites is adding a spin with time-tested ingredients. Do you love playing with pumpkin spice flavors in the kitchen? Try out a surprisingly simple pumpkin crème brûlée baked in mini pumpkins to impress guests after a fall harvest dinner. Take your pie baking skills up a notch with a sweet potato pie enhanced by the addition of bourbon to the filling and brown sugar in the meringue topping. Celebrate the best of fall harvest flavors in new ways.
“If you’re looking for a new recipe to impress family and friends this fall, don’t shy away from one that might look challenging at first,” said Coyle. “Be brave and harness the power of eggs from the mixing bowl to the dessert plate.”
Four festive fall recipes to get you started are:
- Pumpkin Crème Brulee in Mini Pumpkins
- Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie with Brown Sugar Meringue Topping
- Pumpkin Pecan Bars
- Cheesy Kale & Apple Sausage Strata
