Hi everyone, I don't cook but professionally but I love to do it. I like making crusts for quiche and pies from scratch, there's nothing like homemade. Anyway I'm looking forward to all the expertise on these boards!

Thank you for introducing yourself, Annud. I'm just starting out with pie crusts, so your expertise may be called on soon! Also, in the U.S. at least, holiday pie season is just around the corner. We always get requests for help with that.

What do your crusts hold? Do you have favorite quiche and pie fillings? Are there fruits or other ingredients where you live that make the dishes unique?

Please browse the board, enjoy the information, and get acquainted with the community. We'll look forward to seeing you here often to visit and participate.

Welcome!

Thanks for the reply!

I've tried my hand at tons of pies and quiches. I tend to enjoy more cheesy/custardy, kind of my taste. So I make a kind of "white quiche" with ricotta, spinach, basil, and anchovy. I've also made Lorraine and tomato jack quiche. As far as pies, apple is a favorite, and rhubarb is pretty popular in my area so I put that in with some fruit you wouldn't expect (my friend and I made a rhubarb/pear tart that was a big hit one Thanksgiving).

Thanks for having me, I'll look around!
