Join Me at the KCRW Pie Contest
This summer I worked on a few recipes to enter into this pie contest. My Aunt May used to make the best pies, from rhubarb to sour cherry--my favorite! I'll be entering a pie for each of the contest categories, including cream, fruit, Metropolis II inspired (Chris Burden's toy-car megalopolis project), nut, and savory. The event is free and open to the public. Come out and taste my pies and let me know if you are coming so I am sure to look for you.
"Join KCRW for the Annual Good Food Pie Contest. Home cooks and professionals alike will be judged by some of LA's best chefs and food writers. Cheer on the competitors, or just enjoy a slice.

The competition was a great adventure. I got to meet many of the other bakers, a lot of the public attending, and serve up all my pies. The first pie to be gobbled up was my Costa Rican savory pie. A few photos from that day below.
