“Pieometry” Author Lauren Ko Of Loko Kitchen Talks Pie Dough, Filling, And Design

She's My Cherry Pie

Today’s guest is Lauren Ko, the contemporary pie artist and author of the baking book “Pieometry.” Since Pi Day is coming up, we chatted with the @lokokitchen creative about all things pie and her signature spoke design, which has been dubbed the modern lattice.

Lauren joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her journey from novice baker to pie expert, and the duo take a deep dive into her signature spoke pie with her “bluebarb” blueberry-rhubarb filling. Lauren shares her best tricks to get perfectly precise cuts of dough as well as her tips on what kind of egg wash to use and how long you should be cooking your pies.

Want to bake along? Here is Lauren’s recipe for her signature spoke designed pie.
