Pie School

Lessons in Fruit, Flour & Butter





A completely updated and expanded edition of Pie School, a cookbook about the art and science of flaky crust, lush fruit fillings, and the magic that happens when you put them together--now with 20 new mouthwatering pies!

Pie School is now in session!

Since the first publication of Pie School in 2014, Kate Lebo has inspired bakers everywhere with her witty and encouraging lessons on all things flaky and sweet. This completely revised and updated edition includes 20 brand-new pies—including two new chapters, one on savory meat or vegetable pies and one on “difficult” (lesser-known) fruit pies—plus updates to the originals (80 in total). Her proven process to achieve flakiness and structure, along with recipes for delicious, inspired fillings, will give home cooks all the skills they need to make the best pie of their lives. Beyond the bake, Lebo also invites us to ruminate on the social history, the meaning, and the place of pie in the pantheon of favorite foods.

Praise for Pie School

“I love Kate Lebo’s Pie School so much. It’s reassuringly detailed for new cooks yet full of nuance that make veteran cooks like me say, “Oh wow, right!” But it’s Kate’s writing—graceful and considered, yet funny and intimate—that makes you want to spend time with the book, along with a cup of tea and time for contemplation.” —Martha Holmberg, James Beard Award-winning co-author of Six Seasons: A New Way to Cook Vegetables

“With recipes and words that spotlight traditional pie-making both savory and sweet, Kate Lebo’s Pie School is a definite keeper for any pie-maker’s bookshelf.”
—Kate McDermott, James Beard Award-nominated author of Art of the Pie
