I’m leaving the country for a few months, so booklet sales are on hiatus until early August. If you’re in San Francisco, you can still pick up the booklet in person from a handful of shops, and the booklet is still available on the App Store for your iPhone/iPod.
I’ve been working with a good friend of mine to turn the booklet into an iPhone/iPod application, now available for download from the iTunes app store. The app includes Minty Lewis’ illustrations and is, of course, a very lightweight way to bring the booklet with you when you’re shopping for ingredients, or when you’re headed out of town and want to make pies with your less-than-local friends and family.
Once you’ve checked out the app, please consider reviewing it!
Here’s a sneak peak:
And of course – you can still purchase the booklet at a number of local San Francisco shops, or buy it online here and have it shipped directly to your door.
Wow – I’m completely out of booklets! It’s so exciting to see how interested people are in it. Anyways, I am in the process of getting more printed and any booklets ordered between now and Monday, December 19th will be shipped on Tuesday, December 20th.
New books are in!
Due to personal holiday travel, *NO BOOKLETS WILL BE SHIPPED AFTER DECEMBER 20th.* Any orders placed on the 20th or beyond will be shipped after December 25th.
But! Some good news: a handful of amazing local shops in San Francisco have the booklet in stock. Even if you already have the booklet, you should check these shops out.

Thanks to all of my amazing customers and supporters! After 2 years of pies, I’ve decided to move on. Feel free to drop me a line at natalie@bikebasketpies.com – let’s chat about collaborations, projects, or just grab a drink.
I’m currently working on writing a recipe book to memorialize the past two years – it will be published and available within the next few months! More information will be posted here, as it becomes available, and of course I’ll announce it’s completion on twitter and facebook.
The short: the hours are rough, I have very little free time, and I have a bit of trouble paying rent despite working seven days a week.
The long: Bike Basket Pies started as something really small – another job when I already had two, but something fun, something inspiring, and something to call my own. I never expected it to much more than a creative summer project and a few extra bucks, but it quickly grew and kept getting just slightly bigger and bigger. It turned into a legitimate business and I always treated it with an intense work ethic, and initially it was a helluva lot of fun. But at it’s current state, it consumes my time and life, and I don’t get to exercise the same creativity I did at its inception. I’m excited to find a new project to jump into.
