I am very worried, friends. Worried that the fear of pie crusts may be keeping a great many of you from making your own pies at home. Is this true? Does this sound like you? Do debates over butter vs. lard or tender vs. flaky make you want to run and hide? Well, take a deep breath and grab your notebook — today we’re going to go over how to make a pie from start to finish, one step at a time.

Rebekka Seale’s home smells like lavender, lemons, and melted butter. It’s small and cozy, the type of place in which you want to snuggle up and read a book on a rainy afternoon. Everything in Rebekka’s kitchen and dining room is meticulously matched, from the white subway tiles to the fresh flowers that grace her windowsill. She even bought a minty, mossy green-yellow nail polish to match her favorite ice cream flavor (Jeni’s honey pistachio). Join us as we tour her lovely space!

“Frozen sugar-coated grapes are a perfect after-school snack, party appetizer, or late-night snack.”
Have you ever heard of the haskap berry? Looking at it here, I can’t help but think that my favorite gum-smacking whippersnapper from Willy Wonka would have loved this chiclet-shaped purple berry. If it tastes even half as magical as a snozberry, then I have to find some to try!

In the pantheon of summertime pies, blueberry pie is right up there at the top. A good one should be packed to the brim with plump roly-poly berries, the flaky and buttery crust barely able to contain the jewel-like bounty. It should need only a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to finish it off. Here is our recipe for a classic blueberry pie — no frills, no secret ingredients, just blueberries in all their summery glory.

Five years ago, I fell in love with dry-rub barbecue. Prior to the summer of 2008, I naively believed that the only way to make ribs deliciously on the grill was to mop it with copious amounts of a wet, tomato-based barbecue sauce. I know, I know, silly Deb, but what can you really expect from a Yankee?
Under my friend Molly’s tutelage, I learned the error of my ways. The thing is, no matter how unappealing the word “dry” may sound against meat of any sort, the results are anything but. While a wet sauce just wants to roll off your meat, the dry rub spices adhere themselves to it, almost crusting in the meltingly tender meat within as it cooks slow-and-low over a the grill, and losing none of its punch, no matter how long it cooks. You might have some barbecue sauce around when you’re done as a dip for the meat, but in general, there’s so much flavor from that spice crust, you probably won’t need it.
