In today’s episode of Hand Me Down Recipes, I’m joined by John Browning, a kindred spirit I met at a local pie auction here in Montana. John shares the tender story of his family’s pie crust recipe — a tradition shaped by the hands of his mother and grandmother, perfected through summer berry picking, and lovingly upgraded with local ingredients and personal touches.
We talk about the quiet joy of being in the kitchen, how food connects generations, and why the simple act of baking a pie can hold so much memory and meaning.
Whether you’ve made hundreds of pies or are still unsure about rolling out dough, this episode invites you to slow down and savor the beauty of passed-down recipes and seasonal living.
