Kate Lebo scrive della complessità e della bellezza del mondo che ci circonda con un'unica miscela di precisione e poesia. Il suo lavoro si addentra spesso in temi che collegano l'ordinario allo straordinario, esplorando i modi in cui percepiamo e comprendiamo la nostra realtà. Lebo è nota per la sua capacità di trasformare soggetti ed esperienze apparentemente comuni in momenti di profonda riflessione, il tutto con acuta intuizione e una voce distintiva.


Pie School is now in session! Since the first publication of Pie School in 2014, Kate Lebo has inspired bakers everywhere with her witty and encouraging lessons on all things flaky and sweet. This completely revised and updated edition includes 20 brand-new pies—including two new chapters, one on savory meat or vegetable pies and one on “difficult” (lesser-known) fruit pies—plus updates to the originals (80 in total). Her proven process to achieve flakiness and structure, along with recipes for delicious, inspired fillings, will give home cooks all the skills they need to make the best pie of their lives. Beyond the bake, Lebo also invites us to ruminate on the social history, the meaning, and the place of pie in the pantheon of favorite foods.
