- My first ever cherry pie for Pie Party!
Hey there folks—it’s Leena, and I’m back from baby land, knee-deep in dirty diapers and enjoying a life without time for personal hygeine thanks to my new bundle of joy, Ella. My recovery has been a bit slower because I had to deliver Ella via c-section, and the last time I can actually remember cooking or baking was months ago.
So guess what I did as soon as the grandparents came over to play with Ella? A shower? Nope, but that would have probably been a good idea. I decided to bake a pie. A from-scratch cherry pie from Ad Hoc, a cookbook by Thomas Keller, a chef known for loving complicated recipes. Ain’t no Betty Crocker recipe here, folks.
And perfect timing too, because there is a pie party today! The Gluten-free Girl is hosting a day of pie posts of any shape, size or flavor (read about it here). A current favorite blogger of mine, Nomnivorous, posted a kick-ass looking chocolate strawberry pie for #pieparty that is already on my summer to-do list. But first? On to the cherry pie…before the baby wakes up and ruins it all.
