Celebrity Chefs Celebrate Pi(e) Day on Social Media

Pi Day is good for two things: One is pretending you know something about math and circles and stuff. The other is to indulge in pizza and pie, and any other food that remotely resembles a pie, and pretend you’re doing it as a sign of reverence to the symbol that is π. Celebrity chefs didn’t miss a chance to get in on the action, and of course social media was aflutter with pictures of pie. Check it out below!

Someone told me that today is Pi Day 😂. Here’s a little throwback to one of the favorites from Pie Night at #DominiqueAnselKitchen last fall: #blueberry pie with buttermilk oat crumble, a vanilla sablé crust, and a sprinkle of fresh blueberries and lemon zest to finish. #PiDay

Happy 3.14! We made a pie to celebrate, filled with lime and maple custard, topped with cream and lime zest. It didn’t last long. Thanks @birdsblack for the delicious inspiration. 📷 @permanent_press_editions #piday

It’s not exactly pie but it’s one of the simplest & most elegant desserts I’ve had and it reminds me of my French grandmother. Tarte Tatin 👌🏻 Recipe in #seasonwithauthority #piday #nationalpiday
