In Justice of the Pies, Maya-Camille Broussard shares more than 85 recipes for sweet and savory pies and other mouthwatering creations that put her social mission-based bakery on the map, including her famous Salted Caramel Peach Pie and Brandied Banana Butterscotch Pie, as well as hearty renditions like the Fig + Pig Quiche and Roasted Brussels Sprouts + Cherry Tart. Maya-Camille also tells the stories of heroes outside the kitchen: luminaries who strive for social justice and equity, and shares recipes they've inspired. Maya-Camille's bakery was launched in honor of her father, who was a criminal defense attorney and had a deep love of baking pie. Through her bakery she proves that good work and delicious decadence can go hand in hand.
"Food has a way of transporting us, and social justice and causes have a way of edifying us. Justice of Pies does both! The unexpected surprise of flavors and textures in Maya-Camille's recipes will transport you to charts unknown, and each vignette sheds light on people and causes that uplift us morally and intellectually."--Carla Hall, bestselling author of Carla Hall's Soul Food and judge on Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship
