Most often it is served at Christmas and Thanksgiving – it is difficult to find a family where there will not be a beautiful and fragrant pie on the table.

History

We didn’t find the person who created National Day, but he was definitely crazy about these baked goods! Some researchers agree that the prototype of the pie was prepared by settlers in Plymouth. Perhaps the Indians shared pumpkins, and the Europeans came up with a custard with the addition of milk and honey. The first Thanksgiving celebration was not complete without this dish.

In 1651, a book called “Le Vrai Cuisinier François” appeared, compiled by a French cook and writer. He was very famous at that time! The works were also translated into English 2 years after the release. The pumpkin pie was featured here as “Tourte of Pumpkin”. By the 1670s, the recipe was also flooding British publications! In 1796, pumpkin pie became what it is today: American Amelia Simmons published a recipe that better suited the taste of Americans.
