The Evolution of Savory Pies: When Home-Cooked Classics Become Art and Self-Expression! ♡

Amazing Arrangements of Pies from Abroad!

I think there aren't many people in Japan who regularly make pies at home, or whose mothers or grandmothers often bake pies...

In the United States and France, when we say "pie," it represents the very taste of home. A holiday tea time with mom's freshly baked pie is a picture of family gathering overseas♡

In the Studio Ghibli anime "Kiki's Delivery Service," Kiki delivered a homemade "herring pie" made by her grandmother. (Although she was told that girls don't like it…)

In other words, pies are a symbol of family love in cooking.

Handmade Pies Abroad are Visually Stunning ♡

It's currently a trend abroad to make the homey pie look fashionable and cute.

On Instagram, there are tags like "#piegram" and "#pieart," showcasing incredibly cute pies that are perfect for Instagram♡

It's somewhat similar to Japan's character bento culture. It feels like a "look at our family's pie!" with cooking-loving moms uploading their masterpieces, which is so exciting just to look at♡

Why not try baking a pie that will surprise everyone, inspired by the cute arrangement pies from overseas?
