Allison's pies are delicious and sustainably sourced. After she teaches you to make your own, follow these tips to make your kitchen a healthy and eco-friendly baking space:
- Clean up without using harmful chemicals or wasteful paper towels - lemon juice and vinegar in hot water make great natural cleaners!
- Resist the urge to peek in the oven! Every time you open the oven door, you lose about 25 degrees of heat. Make sure your oven racks are in the proper position before heating, and keep the oven window clean so you can check on your goodies without opening the door.
- If you have the space, multi-task your oven! Pizzas and pies, cookies and muffins, cake and casserole can be cooked at the same time.
- Use seasonal and local ingredients, of course! You can find all kinds of awesome produce at farmers markets like the famous Union Square Greenmarket.
