I can't wait to cook these desserts. Everything ATK is stellar and your show makes me feel right at home.
My Grandmother was from Missouri and was born in 1895. She taught me how to bake when I was about 8 or 9. I’m 79 years old now and still use her recipes. She always used lard for her pastry dough. I remember the red lard cans. I don’t use lard now, I use 2/3 shortening and 1/3 unsalted butter for my crusts. They are so tender and flaky. Another thing she taught me was that instead of corn starch or flour as a fruit pie thickener she used minute tapioca. That’s what I’ve always used. I like because it is flavorless and is really pretty. Just curious if you’ve ever tried tapioca in your fruit pies. I love your shows. I just bought your 2001-2022 complete show cookbook. Love it!
I've been making apple/plum pie but never thought about with just plums. Will do.
SHOCK OF A LIFETIME!
The KA mixer WON!
(At least, it didn't break and STILL
win, like happened in the full size
shootout.)

At 16:32 Adam says "like the Earth rotates around the sun". Nope, the Earth revolves around the sun, and rotates on its axis. Unless, you are a flat-earther, lol.
Both desserts was calling my name lol. My cousin redecorated her kitchen and gave me her old Kitchen Aid stand mixer in Cobalt Blue or Cornflower Blue and I love it.
Whoever bought this channel really ruined it. The patronizing intro jazz is bad but the phony scripted dialog is unbearable.
Julia and Bridget thank you so much for the wonderful desserts. Growing up my mom would make straight rhubarb pie, other pies also but I remember she always used tapioca. Do you have any recipes highlighting the use of tapioca instead of cornstarch or flour? Please share them. I love ATK.
"Anjou pears are no good, tho." 😆
I'd love to see an Elle Simone show. 🙌
I'm so glad I now know the difference between a pear crisp and apple or peach cobbler big difference I'm about to make this apple and pear crisp tomorrow have all the ingredients and now I know how they work it and thank you for introducing that cute little KitchenAid that is on my list
I love my big cobalt kitchenaid.
Wonderful ! .You can check my videos if you are interested.
@Bridget 😄 7:24 so proud of her perfectly sized pie dough. You two ladies are fantastic 👍🏻❤
Hmm, I wonder if plums are acidic?
I like your shows, but please ditch the long intros and get right to the topic.
Pie episode should have been uploaded on March 14th. 😀
My wife figures Julia was teaching a class that day based on what she's wearing.
test kitchen, please test substitution ingredients for us diabetics, thank you
Julia and Bridget, what kind of nail polish do you use? I like that color.

I love when ATK does dessert segements.
Pear crisp is first on my list. Good to learn about corn starch firming up the liquid. That will help my apple pie too. And I noticed bag of B pears from instacart.
Disappointed to hear how juicy plums turn out when cooked. DH asked me to figure out how to make my version of stuffed with figs pie with a plum mixture. Has to be dry to work with the crust.
I wonder if I'm the only one that said "Yes!" when they added the ice cream. 😄
Me, now, still before first coffee: How to Make Inedible Fruit Dess.. OH, INCREDIBLE fruit desserts… That's much better. 🙂
The desserts look tasty and sweet. Beautiful and lovely people too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
