Lisa Achatz from Atlanta tells Penelope…“My pies always seem to come out better when I wear an apron when I bake. Is this just weird superstition?”Not at all. Being in the right outfit is totally aligned with being in the right frame of mind. You wouldn’t get on a horse wearing a tutu any more than you would attempt Giselle in riding boots.Wearing an apron lets you easily dust your hands of flour, avoid constant reaches for a kitchen cloth, and can even improve your concentration by helping you to feel all pulled together at the waist by being tied with a bow (assuming you have any sense of style).Penelope’s favorite aprons are the Jesse Steele French Hostess apron, the Jesse Steele Mom And Me Heart Aprons, and the Rosebud Patterned apron. Find them at Sur La Table when you search ‘aprons,’ and look no further for a more stylish way to bake a better pie.
