Pie baking as personal branding exercise. I think this made its grand debut at the dinner table around 11:07pm on Saturday night. Who cares if the pie crust was slightly singed and the apples a bit al dente.

One garnished w/ dukkah. Fruit is poached w/ lemon and vanilla first before baking. Terrible picture.

First shot at cannelés, using copper molds from E. Dehillerin in Paris. Pretty, pretty, pretty good!
