When talking to Rachel Simmons, I get the sense that she’d be willing to try and transform any dish into a pie. It’s the kind of ardent fervor that has lodged bacon in the national consciousness and perhaps will allow the humble pie tin to reclaim its hold over the cupcake pan.

Yesterday, she talked about how she has been baking all her life. Tomorrow, Simmons talks about the perfect pie.
