As most people will tell you, the best pies have the best crusts. It has to be tender, flaky, and full of flavor. That is the key to a great pie.

Few people know this about me, but I love baking pies.

Crumpets I make myself. I love crumpets. You can't beat a good home-made crumpet.

I do not like a quiche with wet, undercooked pastry underneath, and that is that.

I fell in love with pastry because I felt I could be much more creative. It's precise, and you don't have to kill anything.

I love making buckwheat crepes with ham, Parmesan cheese, and a fried egg on top. It's my go-to breakfast.

I love to make pies - pot pies, quiches, savory tarts, fruit pies. I use an old-fashioned pastry blender with wires and a wooden handle. I never use a recipe.

I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies.

The weight comes off, you know? If you stop with the bread and the pie, it really does. It really works.

I love raw cookie dough, right out of the tube. The other thing I eat is marshmallow fluff.
