Roundup: For the Love of Pie

Our week about pies is coming to a end, we had fun baking pies, reading about pies, and giving away pies!!  During our research we've come across some pretty amazing recipes and products.   Here, we share with you just a few selections from the ever-growing wide world of pies.  Don't forget to leave a comment on this post to be entered in our First Prize Pies Cookbook giveaway!

1. Got issues transporting all of your handmade pies?  Look no further.  Pie Box to the rescue! 2.  We hope this Lemon Pie from Chokolat Pimienta tastes half as good as it looks.  Styled to perfection. 

3. Vintage pie birds, designed to prevent pie fillings from boiling over by creating a steam vent, are just as adorably decorative as they are useful. 4. Know anyone who loves the crust as much as the filling?  These precious pie fries are made to be dunked in your favorite jams or jarred pie fillings!

5. While sweet pies usually take center stage, we also love a good savory version.  Enter chicken pot pie. FauxMartha has managed to make this sometimes heavy comfort food look downright sophisticated.  6. With Easter right around the corner, the Shaker Citrus Pie could be just what is needed to round out the dessert table.  An original recipe from Allison Kave, author of First Prize Pies.
