ipie at Palo Alto Market Saturday, October 2!

Hello ipie fans!

ipie is back at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market this Saturday, October 2 from 8-noon!

Last season one of our best sellers was our pear ipie -- organic pears sweetened with a bit of local orange blossom honey and nothing else!

We call it Purely Pear ipie!

Another ipie fan favorite is our Classic Apple ipie with just a hint of caramel sauce added to the apple filling.

We will have a limited number of Purely Pear and Caramel Apple ipies available at the market this week so please email us (link to the right) if you would like to reserve these ipies for pick up at the market.

We will of course also have our Classic Apple ipie available.

We are will be at the market every other week so our next market date after October 2 is October 16.

Hope to see you at the market this Saturday!

ipie at Palo Alto Market Saturday, June 5

Blueberry Pie, let's have fun,
'cause when all is said and done
I love you, yes I do,
'cause, Blueberry, you're true blue.
Oh, Blueberry, you're so very berry blue.
Oh, so very berry blue.

(lyrics by the wonderful Bette Midler)

Come see us at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market from 8-noon this Saturday, June 5.

As you probably guessed, the filling is blueberry!

Hope to see you there!

Can't Have Too Much Pie!

"Can't have too much pie!"

And remember, take two -- they're small.

Ode To Pie!

The holiday rush is over and National Pie Day (January 23) has come and gone.

The Palo Alto Farmers' Market reopens May 8 and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.

I'm busy testing new ipie fillings and flavors so stayed tuned for ipie updates!

In the meantime, you can still get your ipies by emailing me and telling me your ipie desires.

Speaking of desire, I was at a music and art festival late last year and had the good fortune to meet poet Silvi Alcivar.

Give Silvi a word or phrase and she would compose a poem on demand from her spot behind her trusty typewriter.

Of course, my word was pie. And here is her poem:

Pie
mmm lattices and cherries
and butter, oh butter,
sometimes cream, and
chocolate and
butter, oh yes
butter.
to be sliced
and plated and paletted,
oh.

I couldn't agree more!

See you soon and as always: Eat More Pie

New ipie Filling: Apple Cranberry! ipie For The Holidays!

There is a new addition to the ipie family: Apple Cranberry!

The combination of tart apples, fresh cranberries, a light hand with the sugar and a hint of cinnamon and splash of lemon juice give
this filling a bright and delicious flavor.

The taste reminds me a lot of cherry pie but with more holiday spirit!

Need dessert for a dinner party, holiday gathering or even a hostess gift?

Don't stress, place your orders now -- I'm baking throughout the holiday season.

Flavors available include:

Classic Apple
A classic combination of tart apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and a bit of sugar

Caramel Apple
A squirt of homemade caramel syrup to the classic apple filling means sticky goodness!

Purely Pear
Pears, small amount of sugar and that's it

Honey Pear
Addition of artisan honey to the purely pear ipie

Apple Cranberry
Apples, fresh cranberries and cinnamon sugar
