Pie Among Friends: Recipes from the Second Annual South Side Pie Challenge
The Pie Challenge has taken on the feel of a tradition already, and the neighbors who came out to eat pie and support the Hunger Programs have become friends and collaborators. Once again wonderful musicians donated their talents, friends created beautiful decorations, and Girl Scouts served pie--pie in diverse, gorgeous abundance. New types on the table this year included peanut butter pie, green rhubarb pie, and Shaker lemon pie filled with lemon slices. We invite you to peruse our entrants' recipes and try many of them out! We think you will be as impressed as we were with the fine pies that graced our Pie Challenge tables this year. -- Julie Vassilatos, South Side Pie Challenge Organizer

Chris makes this pie every year to mark the end of Spring Quarter -- and to feed a crew of hungry physiology TAs-- in the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division at the University of Chicago. From Great Pies & Tarts by Carol Walter, Clarkson Potter PublishersFudge Pecan Pie by Rebecca Luttrell
A friend told me I was a heretic for putting chocolate in a pecan pie, so think of this pie as "sinfully delicious." Rebecca's pie took Third Place in the Nut Category. http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2013 Photo by Jerry Coyne, used with permission.Lemon Chess Pie by Kate Baldwin
Lemon Chess took first place in the Crème Category. Regular yellow cornmeal (not stone ground) works best here. Make the filling before baking the shell so the cornmeal has time to soften. Adding the filling when the pie shell is still warm reduces the pie’s cooking time slightly.S'Cream Pie by Deborah Weaver
The perfect post-Halloween pie to deplete your trick-or-treater's candy haul (or the left-over candy unclaimed by trick-or-treaters. S'Cream took third place in the Crème Category.

Paul's sour cherry pie took First Place in the Fruit Category One key to the success of this recipe is using fresh cherries in season. Sour cherries have a short season in the Midwest in June/July, so be prepared to pounce on them. We eat several of these pies in season. I usually buy 6 quarts from the farmer's market to set aside pitted and frozen for later use. Frozen cherries work very well.

The Pre-School's Green Room at Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School voted on blueberry for their pie and came up with this delicious recipe.Shaker Lemon Pie by Robin Sindelar
There are many recipes out there for this type of pie. The Shakers didn't want to waste anything so they used the lemon peel in the pie along with the fruit of the lemon. This is the way I make it.

Katie Maher-LipinskiThank you for your interest in Susan Carton's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!
Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.
What is the Cookbook Café Platform?
Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.
How do I "download" a cookbook?
You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.
While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.
Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!
Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.

Pie Among Friends: Recipes from the Second Annual South Side Pie Challenge
FREE
These recipes are from the Second Annual South Side Pie Challenge. Our second event had fewer entrants than last year but just as many pie fans in attendance, and we were able to raise $1500 for the Hyde Park/Kenwood Hunger Programs. The Pie Challenge has taken on the feel of a tradition already, and the neighbors who came out to eat pie and support the Hunger Programs have become friends and collaborators. Once again wonderful musicians donated their talents, friends created beautiful decorations, and Girl Scouts served pie--pie in diverse, gorgeous abundance. New types on the table this year included peanut butter pie, green rhubarb pie, and Shaker lemon pie filled with lemon slices. We invite you to peruse our entrants' recipes and try many of them out!

Victory ala Mode: Recipes from the First Annual South Side Pie Challenge
FREE
This collection comes from some of the entrants in the first annual South Side Pie Challenge held in Chicago this past November. While there has been a well-established apple pie contest for several years on the north side of the city, we felt the south side needed a showcase for its pies too, and we opened the doors wide to four types of pies: fruit, nut, crème, and sweet potato/pumpkin. Fifty-two bakers brought us their best, and eight judges carefully considered them. We organizers were thrilled with the response we got to our call for bakers. The day of the Pie Challenge was a wonderful community gathering at a local grade school. Hundreds of folks came out to eat pie, helping us raise money for a good cause: $2000 for the Hyde Park/Kenwood Hunger Programs. Twenty-two of our entrants submitted their recipes for our e-book, which was prepared by Susan Carton. We hope you enjoy perusing this collection and find some new favorites for your own family gatherings.
