Perfect Thanksgiving Pies Pop Up

Today, I’m excited to announce the arrival – just in time for Thanksgiving – of a Perfect Pie Pop Up (oh how I do love alliteration!).  This project is a collaboration between two of my favorite Elizabeth’s: Elizabeth Colling (baker extraordinaire and Martha Stewart Food Editor) and Elizabeth Messina (photographer extraordinaire).

For this Thanksgiving, Elizabeth Colling is preparing 4 different types of pies, all available for special pre-order. I’m afraid that they are not vegan or gluten free, but on one day of the year, I throw caution to the wind and eat (& enjoy!) it ALL.

Here are the details:
