Join the Author of 50 Pies, 50 States for a Baking Demonstration and Pie Tasting Inspired by Regional American Flavors
Growing up in Singapore and Hong Kong, Stacey Mei Yan Fong learned that there is nothing more symbolically American than a slice of pie. After moving to the United States, Stacey turned her passion for baking into the ultimate cross-country culinary project: 50 Pies, 50 States: An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the United States Through Pies. Stacey created 50 pies, each representing a different state through their unique flavors and ingredients. From a Sweet Tea Peach Pie with Pecan Crumble in honor of Georgia, to a savory Mashed Potato Pie with Hash Brown Crust in celebration of Idaho, the IACP award–winning cookbook is a whimsical road trip of regional food culture.
Join Stacey for an afternoon of sweet indulgence as she shares exclusive tips and tricks, including how to make her signature scalloped pie crust. Guests will enjoy slices of three different types of pie, each representing a different region of the United States.
Copies of 50 Pies, 50 States: An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the United States Through Pies by Stacey Mei Yan Fong are available for purchase with tickets or at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
