The cliché “easy as pie” needs to be modified. ● “Easy as eating pie” is more accurate, because “easy as making pie” is an oxymoron. ● I am solid in many immediate- and expert-level kitchen tasks. You want venison grilled to perfection, crispy fried chicken, moist baked or smoked salmon or brined brisket for old-school pastrami? I’m your cook. ● I can peel a butternut squash in no time without slicing a finger or adjust the spiciness of a pot of chili to match any person’s heat tolerance. ● But if you want to make me question my ability to succeed in the kitchen, give me a pie recipe.
