In Great Desserts: Apple-Pumpkin Pie
[Photo: Yummy Local] Pumpkin pie: fall standard. Apple pie: ditto. So why not apple pumpkin pie? Alice Summers from the food blog YummyLocal revives a recipe from an Emeril Lagasse Thanksgiving pie contest nearly ten years ago. Cinnamon-stewed apples form the pie's first layer, which gets smothered in a sweet pumpkin filling. It gets you thinking about pie's fall potential. Pumpkin-pecan? Pecan-cranberry? So many possibilities...

"They use serrated knives to slaughter the cakes; our pie-server spears barely pierce flesh." Warning: This podcast is PG-13. If you think pie-smeared nookie might offend you, don't hit play. If it hasn't been obvious, I'm a bit of a science-fiction fan. I get a large dose of my fix each week via a couple excellent podcasts, one of which I discovered only a few weeks ago—Norm Sherman's beautifully produced Drabblecast. I've been powering through the Drabblecast archives and was delighted to find that Episode 105 of the show featured two short stories involving pie (embedded above), both by writer-podcaster Mur Lafferty. This being scifi/speculative fiction, there's just a bit of weirdness going on here. In the first story (scrub...Joan Nathan's Rosh Hashanah Greatest Hits
Apples and honey for a sweet new year. [Flickr: ForestForTrees] When we wanted to find some seriously delicious recipes for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, I immediately reached out to Joan Nathan, the queen (not named Esther) of Jewish cooking in this country. My wife and I have repeatedly cooked for both of our families from three of Joan's cookbooks: Jewish Cooking in America, Jewish Holiday Cookbook, and The New American Cooking. The finished dishes never fail to elicit oohs and ahhs, even from my brothers, who are certainly among the world's toughest lay food critics. Pay particular attention to Jim Cohen's Sephardic Brisket It will convince you that dried apricots and prunes are perfect complements to beef...Snapshots from Greece: Spanikopita's Cousin, Hortopita
Will the real spanikopita please stand up. Whoever's running the spanikopita marketing campaign really deserves a raise. I was in Greece for almost a week before I realized that what I thought was spanikopita—layers of crispy phyllo dough stuffed with a cheesy, leafy green mess of joy—actually wasn't. It was hortopita, a savory pie cousin that contains horta, or edible wild greens such as dandelions, chard, kale, and lamb's quarters. Horta directly translates as "grass" in Greek, but refers to about 80 different greens (step aside, spinach) growing all over the country—alongside highways, in fields, and many other places with dirt. It's delicious alone (sauteed with lemon and olive oil) but obviously a few hundred times better when feta...Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'
While I know that it is usually a mistake to make broad generalizations, I'm going to go ahead and throw this one out there: There are two types of people in the world, those who can cook and those who can bake. I fall into the cook category; I am a pretty good home cook and I've even spent some time cooking in restaurants. I can braise with the best of them and sear like a pro. Sauces and stocks from scratch are a given, and I can roll out pasta like an Italian grandmother. However, when it comes to dessert I get more than a little nervous. I am not a baker. I just don't have it in me....The Most Beautiful Baked Good: Cookie Cake Pie
Photograph from CakeSpy In perhaps the ultimate example of gilding the lily, Cakespy.com has posted a recipe for a Cookie Cake Pie. This concoction is exactly what it sounds like, a pie with a layer of cake and one of cookie dough. It's like a Turducken, but with lots of sugar. I am seriously counting down the seconds till I can make this. What's your favorite dessert mash-up?

Banana cream pie from Hoosier Mama Pies. Serious Eats impresario Ed Levine and his epic diet blogging almost ensnared me. You see, I’m not the skinniest cat in the room (and that room includes Garfield). While I’m not yet on the wagon, I read Ed’s missives for inspiration. When I do, they tend to have a mild deterrent effect on my eating prowess. Though, the deterrent effect of those posts is very much like the threat of confession when I was an eight year old Catholic. Once you’ve assuaged your guilt in a short rap session with the priest in that veiled wooden box, you’re ready to bust out and start swearing and stealing candy from the corner store...Crochet Your Own Pie Beret
Pie-rets combine two things that don't usually get paired: pies and berets. Thanks to Monster Crochet, you can now wear a fuzzy, inedible dessert on your head. The pumpkin pie-ret is appropriately garnished with "whipped creme," or a pointy white fuzz in the center of the hat. If you're a lattice crust person, go for the cranberry orange pie-ret (which could easily pass for cherry too). As far as the pecan pie-ret goes, the above model on the right makes a great case for it. All three were croched with an F hook. Sadly, no patterns were provided.
