For Pi Day, make these pies from scratch: Strawberry Black Forest pie, Fresh Raspberry pie, Creamy 'Fruit Tart' pie, plus Blueberry Pie Bars.
If you were looking for an excuse or occasion to make pie, mathematicians have got one for you. On March 14, math aficionados like myself celebrate Pi Day — the number that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Denoted by the Greek letter π, this peculiar number is generally referred to as approximately 3.14. Though in most cases its rounded-off version is used, in 2022 computers were able to calculate it to 100 trillion digits.
Every March 14, the university releases its decision letters to prospective students at 6:28 p.m. Eastern to honor tau, which is double the value of pi. For food lovers, the pi-related discounts at restaurants that sell circular food or offer endless pie-eating competitions might be sufficient to commemorate the holiday. But if you were hoping to get into the kitchen and make pies from scratch like me, here are 3.14 recipes for the best pie to make on Pi Day: three pies, and one pie bar.
