Stephanie Hockersmith’s love for books knows no bounds, and she came up with a special and pretty delicious way to share it with the world. She’s the mastermind behind the viral Instagram page Pie Lady Books, who’s making the most picture-perfect pies inspired by her favorite novels.
Making pies was one of Hockersmith’s favorite pastimes long before her creations went viral on Instagram. She’s been making them for over a decade, and going gluten-free inspired her to dig deeper and start experimenting with her go-to pie crust recipe.
She eventually started sharing her creations on Instagram, and something extraordinary happened when she came up with the idea to mix her passion for baking and reading into one.
“It became this huge passion for me that I never saw coming… There’s certain books that the covers just speaks to me and I think ‘I’ve gotta make this into a pie. Sometimes I make them into a pie before I even read them, but most of the time I’m trying to feature books that I’ve loved or am excited about,” she told Good Morning America.
Hockersmith’s page is now a safe haven for all the book lovers out there looking for their next read. In addition to celebrating timeless classics we all know and love, she enjoys using her platform to introduce us to new books worth reading – mostly in the form of delicious pies.
