Curated Cuisine: Celebrating Pi Day with "Pieometry" author Lauren Ko

If a classic basketweave on top of your apple pie seems like a feat, prepare yourself for next-level pie design with Lauren Ko, author of New York Times bestseller, “Pieometry: Modern Tart Art and Pie Design for the Eye and the Palate.” Ko doesn’t have formal culinary training but has transformed her piemaking into an eye-catching art form. The Seattle-based artist has also found her way to internet stardom posting beautiful pies and tarts — and puns — to her popular instagram that is filled with brilliant colors and geometric shapes.

Join Here & Now co-host Scott Tong for a special Pi Day conversation with Ko and an onstage demonstration of her technique. Copies of “Pieometry” will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith. Ko will sign after the conversation and in-person attendees will enjoy a bite from the book.

This event is co-produced by Boston University Metropolitan College Programs in Food & Wine.
