Whew! of fortune. 😅I The past few days have been a whirlwind. Last week, PIEOMETRY was named a finalist for @barnesandnoble Book of the Year. And yesterday, my segment on @cbssundaymorning aired to an enthusiastic reception beyond my wildest expectations. I’m honestly stupefied. ⁣😳

This introverted nerd started baking pies four years ago out of sheer curiosity, and then continued because I was miserable in my office job and pies provided an outlet for my frustration. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the ways this path has transformed my life and for the support you all continue to bestow on my craft. Thank you for journeying with me!⁣ 🥳

*And yes, all of this celebration feels in sharp contrast to what’s happening with this pandemic. With COVID cases at all-time highs and the death toll grievously climbing, please, please be safe. Wear a mask, take care of yourselves, and look out for each other. ⁣💛

resh off the vote. 🗳I Santi walked me and my mask to the library this morning so I could drop my ballot in the ballot box. Election Day may be November 3, but voting is happening now now now! I know a lot of voices are chiming in with the same thing, but let that underscore the importance. For my Washington state pals specifically, you still have 4 more days to register online or 11 in person if you haven’t done so already (iwillvote.com if you need info!).

COVID has obviously complicated plans for an in-person book tour (that I wanted to name “Tarty Time Tour!” bc duh), but we still have some fun events planned this week! They’re all virtual and all free and EVERYONE is invited to EVERYTHING. 🙌🏽

• 10/13 at 11am PT: Tomato tart demo and virtual book signing @madeinwashingtonstores in Pike Place Market. Tune in on their Facebook Live.

• 10/13 at 5pm PT: PIEOMETRY LAUNCH PARTY with @saltyseattle on Instagram live!!! We’ll chop it up about the book, do a demo, and give a bunch of books away throughout the night. 100% chance of shenanigans. Santi cameo likely.

• 10/15 at 5pm PT: Virtual author talk @booklarder with the delightful @cococakeland!

4 years ago, I made my first pie. A year after that I made this IG account to have a casual photo album of all the random things I make for friends and family. Then you showed up and made all hell bake loose. THANK YOU for being a community that loves modern geometric pies so furiously, you’ve completely transformed my life as a result. This book is for you.

Now let’s tarty! 🥳

WOW‼️ @jenmagofna and I had a goal of raising $3000 for @seattlebipocorganic and @blackgirlfreedomfund, but thanks to those who purchased cookie boxes, folks who sent bonus contributions, and the generosity of a matching donor, a grand total of $9000 will be split between the two orgs!!! THANK YOU for supporting their critical work. 🖤

A few years ago, some strangers drove by and screamed racist epithets at me as I was walking Santi in the neighborhood. After I shared about it here, Jenn reached out because she lives in West Seattle too, and now we’re pals. We’re hopping on IG live with @merchantmethod to talk about all of *that,* how our friendship has grown, and how we find ways to channel frustration into action. Additional talking points: cookies, books we love, and banana outfits. Join us here tomorrow at 10am!⁣ 🍌

3 years ago, I started this Instagram account on a lark. I had zero intentions for it to be anything other than a personal photo album of weekend bakes, but you all embraced modern geometric pies so furiously, @lokokitchen blew up and completely transformed my life. Not even a #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked troll army could withstand your enthusiasm.⁣ 😜

And because wonders never cease, I wrote a cookbook! That could be IN YOUR KITCHENS! In 2 months! What a trip.⁣ 🤯

By now you should know, I can’t resist a cheeky moment. 🤓 So in the spirit of pun and games, pre-order PIEOMETRY before October 13 and we’ll send you a sticker pack that includes a #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked bumper sticker, a tangram tart decal, and an amazing “When All Hell Bakes Loose” graphic sticker illustrated by the wonderful @erinwallaceprint. Complete the form in my bio, upload your receipt, and check your mail in a few!⁣

Keep calm and cherry on. (Or rage if you need to because what is 2020 if not a whole mess of emotions and intense lived experiences?) 🍒@ohhappydani has a great post about information overload and how to channel knowledge, passion, and skill into aligned action in a sustainable way. She sums it up well when she says, “Never stop learning and taking action, but operate in your genius zone for maximum impact!” Something to consider as we conclude another tumultuous week. 💛I In other anxiety-inducing topics, my book, PIEOMETRY, hits shelves in less than three months and my stress dreams about self-promoting in this fraught time have officially commenced. 😓 Thanks in advance for your understanding and support! By the way, this cherry ombre tart is definitely in the book, and it’s set up so you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want. Time to tarty!⁣ 🥳

Raindough brite. 🌈I I organized my freezer recently and unearthed a number of dough bits and ends.

We have small business and food industry friends who’ve had their lives completely derailed. We have friends that have been harrassed on the street for being Asian. We have immunocompromised family members and friends with small children. People are dying and still so many cannot be bothered to care.

The apple of my pie. 🍎 I Happy Pi(e) Day! 🥳 After fruitin’ and hollerin’ about how @thecosmiccrisp apples are perfect for fresh tarts (they’re naturally slow to brown!), I’m back to confirm that they’re equally a-peeling for baked pies too! They hold their shape well in the oven heat and their sweet-tart flavor makes for a wonderfully balanced filling. Don’t stem and haw, the first crop is selling quickly, so grab a bushel soon!⁣ 🧺

Sauce my heart and hope to pie. ☠️I When @cdcgov epidemiologist, who also hustles as a chef(!), @koreanfusion sends you her “Slutty Sauce” to try, the only route is to stock your freezer full of savory pies for impending quarantine and apocalyptic doom. 🥧 I scavenged bits and ends from my fridge (carrots, celery, Chinese greens, and shiitake mushrooms plus onions, garlic, and ginger), browned a few pounds of ground pork, and smothered it generously in this sauce that’s richly savory and sweet with a bit of funk and the tiniest kick of heat. Then I tucked it all under woven beet and spinach (the natural juices only add color to the dough, not flavor) quilts to hibernate and prepare to fortify us in what I hope will be a healthy future. Be well out there!⁣ 🖤 ⁣

If you missed the Gentile family’s installment of #myamericanpie the first time around, here it is again, version #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked. I made this pie inspired by their memories of Nana’s pizzelles and it is filled with Italian plums with a splash of amaretto. ⁣✨

“Both of our families come from Italy. Growing up, my Nana only made Italian food and bought everything at a store that imported food from Italy. My favorite memory is making pizzelles with her as a kid. ⁣

Pizzelles are traditionally an Italian holiday cookie but growing up, my Nana would make them for me year round because she knew how much I loved them. She would even send them in care packages to me at summer camp. It was like receiving a big hug in the mail knowing she took the time to make them and carefully package them up for me. ⁣

Last Christmas, our daughter devoured pizzelles for the very first time with such joy in her eyes. Perhaps these special cookies will also become a part of her childhood memories and something that connects her to her Italian heritage.”⁣

If you missed Maia’s installment of #myamericanpie the first time around, here it is again, version #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked. I made this pie inspired by Maia’s story and by colorful Ankara fabrics. It is filled with chicken and spicy hot West African pepper sauce. ⁣

⁣

“My mother is Liberian and Lebanese. She came to the States at the beginning of the civil war in Liberia. My father is black and Filipino. I define myself as black.⁣

⁣

Heritage to me is where you come from as well as the cultural practices that you perform. I remember being around 11 years old and watching my grandmother cook my favorite meal--cassava leaf--at her house in Maryland. I distinctly remember her laughing and letting me stir the pot as I watched her add fish and chicken into the dish. Most of my memories regarding my cultural background and heritage relate to food. ⁣

⁣

The ingredients in this pie directly resemble the memories I shared. The design represents my own Americanness because this is exactly how I would enjoy an American traditional dish with a Liberian touch (and a lot of pepper sauce). It reminds me of being in my grandmother’s house and smelling her cooking while looking at all the Ankara fabrics in her basement. I love this and am thankful that I could see this memory come to life.”⁣

If you missed Dominique’s installment of #myamericanpie the first time around, here it is again, version #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked. ⁣😉

I made this grilled peach pie with cinnamon, ginger, and a braided design inspired by the literal visual of her hair as well as how her American identity is rooted in the notion of supportive community.⁣

“I’m a 3rd or 4th generation American. My mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother are all from New York City. When a lot of people think of an ‘American girl,’ they go to blonde hair, blue eyes, and apple pie, but here I am--chunky box braids with tassels at the end and peach cobbler and sweet potato pie.⁣

For me, when I think of American culture I think of African-American culture. I think of loud, vaguely-legal block parties, and 9-year-old me running through open fire hydrants. I think of late night barbeques with strangers-turned-family in Rockaway Beach, where I’m from. For me, African-American culture is rooted in building communities with endless support. I’m really lucky to have grown up in that. ⁣

That’s the American culture I know and love, and it’s cool to see a version of ‘American Pie’ that feels like me and my family.”⁣
