Hello There Pie Lovers,

The weekend for the September pie pop-up has arrived! It will be this upcoming Sunday, September 24th from 2 pm - 4 pm at True Love Pizza which is located in the Food Garden (105 Rainbow Road). I am fresh off a pie high from the Fall Fair, where this year I took home the trophy for Best Pastry. I had so much fun attending the fair as a guest for the first time, who knew the zucchini races were such a high-intensity event! I was also lucky enough to snag one of the last slices of pie from The Pie Ladies, which was such a treat. I am clinging on to every last remnant of summer, as I am very much not ready for it to be over and these lil' pies will reflect it. Here is what I am cooking up for you this month!

The Meat Pie is inspired by one of my most favourite soups (and I LOVE soup) Tom Kha Gai, which I think is still appropriate to make and eat in the summer heat. This beautiful Thai dish is flavourful, light, & well balanced, and I plan to recreate it using amazing island ingredients.

Amazing Local Chicken, Mixed Mushrooms, Coconut Milk, Baby Ginger, Red Russian Garlic, Kaffir Lime Leaves, Lemongrass, Hot Peppers & Cilantro. Served with a seasoned Coconut Milk dip. (The final product will only have a hint of spice!)

The Veggie Pie comes from my love of a famous French summer dish, as well as, a fabulous animated movie... it's Ratatouille! It is a magical couple of months when all of these gorgeous vegetables and herbs are all in season at the same time. I adore tomatoes, and this is another fun and delicious way to enjoy the last of the local bounty!

Incredible Local Eggplants, Roasted Peppers, Grilled Zucchini, Red Onions, Fennel, Tomatoes, Red Russian Garlic & Herbs. Served with a Herby Tomato sauce.

The Fruit Pie will feature my third favourite fruit, which I got from a lovely local woman who brought back a whole van full of Okanagan fruit for many fortunate islanders! I am going to combine these roasted and stewed beauties with some incredible baby ginger from Foxglove Farm. What says summer more than a delectable juicy peach!

Stunning Organic Peaches, Baby Ginger, Local Honey & Vanilla Bean. Served with a Vanilla Creme Fraiche
