About Kate McDermott
About Kate McDermott’s Newsletter
Baking, Cooking, Walking, Gardens, Dogs…and Pie.
WHO:
I am a storyteller, musician, culinary teacher, and late blooming published author who seems to have a better track record with dogs than wuzbands. I have written three best selling and critically acclaimed cookbooks with personal narrative essays; James Beard Nominated Art of the Pie: A Practical Guide to Crusts, Fillings and Life (2016), Home Cooking with Kate McDermott (2018), and Pie Camp: The Skills You Need to Make Any Pie You Want (2020). I teach in person and virtual baking workshops, coach and mentor writers and teachers, and Substack newbies.
WHAT:
This newsletter is about much more than pie. I write of my thoughts, my walks, rides on Arrow my ebike, my garden, apple orchard, books I’m reading, music I’m listening to, recipes to cook and bake, thoughts about aging gracefully.
