The Manifesto

Pie. It’s simple and ubiquitous, a subject that we give little or no thought to on a daily basis. Pie deserves our attention because pie is our culinary heritage. Pie is found in some form in almost every culture. The idea of wrapping food in some sort of pastry to make it portable and easier to eat is as old as cooking. Pie can be sweet or savory. You can make an entire meal based on pie, but how many people have actually tasted really good pie. Proper pie does not come frozen in a box. Proper pie does not have a mass produced pre-rolled crust. Proper pie does not use pre- cooked or canned fillings. Proper pie is made from scratch from the crust up. Proper pie uses fresh ingredients for the filling. Proper pie can change your life.
