Critic-Turned-Cook Searches for Signature Dish

What's your signature dish? You don't have to be a four-star chef to have a dish that defines you. My grandmother was famous for her baked beans, fried chicken, and snappy dill pickles. Like the scribbled handwriting that has become illegible over time, my signature dish has shifted through the years.

Tomorrow Is Pi Day!

We talk an awful lot about our favorite pies on Serious Eats, but for tomorrow's occasion, we can't improve on this guy from food blog Frites and Fries. Not only is it a pi(e), but the Greek letter prompted a Greek-inspired creation filled with ground lamb, apples, and raisins. It's just one of many entries in our Pi Day Bake-off this year, which we're cosponsoring with the folks of ScienceBlogs. You have until midnight on Sunday to enter!

Video: Disney-fied 'Family Guy' Sings About Pie

In the latest episode of Family Guy, Stewie and Brian randomly zap themselves to alternate universes, one of which is a perpetually jolly Disney-fied world where everyone has the ability to enter song and dance numbers without a hitch. And what's one of the jolliest topics of them all? Pie! "I want to hear more music about pie!" says Stewie. Don't we all. Watch the video after the jump....

Evan Kleiman Bakes a Pie A Day, For the Entire Summer

Pie: Every. Single. Day. If I were forced to choose between pie and cake for the rest of my life, I'd pick pie in an instant, no contest. With pie you can go sweet, you can go savory, you can have chocolate, or you can choose from a rainbow of fruit pies. Pie-making, with the rolling out of dough and tossing of the filing, is such a superior tactile experience to the scoop, sift, and stir hum-drum of making a cake. When my cousin got married, he and his wife chose to have a table full of pies and tubs of Straus ice cream instead of a big ol' wedding cake. I consider this a genius move, and way cooler...

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 74: Can My All-Pie Fourth of July Diet Work?

I am on Martha's Vineyard, where pies seem to be baked on every corner. I can get my pie fix from Mrs. Blake's, The Black Dog Bakery, Little Rock Farms, The Scottish Bakehouse, Fiddlehead Farm, The Old Stone Bakery, Just Pie, Morning Glory Farms, Garcia's, and literally too many other places to mention. I happen to be partial to Mrs. Blake's, because of her flaky crusts and her fruity, not goopy, fillings, but I am not slavishly devoted to her 8-inch round beauties. So faced with this plethora of pies this July 4th weekend I am going to embark on an admittedly gimmicky, some would say radical, others would say ridiculous and silly, one-day diet of just pie. Stay with...

Celebrate Pi Day with Pie

Photograph from bec.w on Flickr Tomorrow is a really big day for math dorks and pie appreciators alike. Pi Day comes but once a year, celebrating over one trillion digits past the decimal point and people who just need another excuse to eat butter. Last year, Ed rounded up some of the best pie sources in America, and as to be expected, the Serious Eaters chirped up with other favorites. Note: Pi Day on March 14 should not be confused with the American Pie Council's Pie Day on January 23. Both involve happy tummies.
