Evan Kleiman's love of pie began when she was a little girl. A native Angeleno, the Angeli Caffe Chef/Owner and KCRW Good Food host grew up in Silver Lake, and remembers her family getting their baked treats from Sarno's bakery. It was a family tradition to get one of the bakery's rum cakes to celebrate a birthday, however Kleiman soon yearned to branch out. "At some point in my early childhood I started requesting a pie for my birthday," she explains. "And in spite of the fact that my birthday is in July I requested an apple pie." Her request soon led to her having hands-on kitchen time and a long-running tradition: "I went from requesting them to making them," she adds. "Now I still have a birthday pie every summer but I have berry or peach."

This one is an unusual take on a holiday classic. For years a personal obsession has been the peanut butter pie at the Wheel Inn at Cabazon. There have been many disappointments along the way to a duplicate recipe, with versions full of Cool Whip and broken dreams. This recipe seems to really hit the mark and is the closest you can get without a 3-hour drive.

You know what I hate? Birthday cake. I've hated it for years. In fact, I really don't remember a time that I DID enjoy birthday cake, or any kind of layered cake with that icky sugar icing and stupid tasteless sugar sprinkles. Problem is, I don't really like pie either. Or pastries, or muffins, or chocolate-anything (maybe a bite of dark chocolate every now and then). When I get ice cream, I usually get...
You may already be aware that there is a major bee die off going on right now, threatening the bulk of the US fruit and vegetable supply. Let's hope that this awesome video was made during happier times for the honey bee, and that no bees were harmed during the making of the video. Using a complex system of live insects, models, droplets of liquid and lots of pies, director Richard De Aragues has...
