About Me

Hi, I’m Hannah! I read about food, I make food, I eat food, and I nap. I have a love for vintage recipes and kitchenware. I live in Detroit, Michigan.

La Retro's Recent IG

“There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy, When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie” -Leroy Anderson (but really I’m imagining The Carpenters) 🥧 The results are in for my highly un(scientific) taste test that I’ve been rambling about and the winner is..... @libbyspumpkin Famous Pumpkin Pie!! (It’s the one with the pumpkin crust in pic) 🏆 I don’t have anything but praise for this recipe— it’s what you think of when you think of pumpkin pie and, as it turns out, famous for a reason. 👩🏻‍🔬 Click on the link in bio if ya wanna get nerdy with a more in depth analysis of the results.

Last up in the taste test series is this @thejoyofcooking Sour Cream Pumpkin Pie. Though it produced a drier texture than the other pies, I loved the tangy sour cream against the sweetness of the filling 🥧

Leave it to queen @inagarten to create the most aromatic pumpkin pie on record. Orange zest and rum give this pie a little twist on the classic but it’s still an uncomplicated one-bowl recipe. As Ina would say, “How easy is that?”

Giving pumpkin pie the La Retro treatment with this vintage @betterhomesandgardens Pumpkin Chiffon number. My favorite thing about this pie is the way the pumpkin stays bright orange because the filling isn’t baked- it just sets up with gelatin. It also slices like a dream ✨

Meet Contestant #1: that old back-of-the-can classic, @libbyspumpkin “Famous Pumpkin Pie”. This pie was rated “soft,” “creamy,” and “balanced” in my extremely (un)professional and (un)scientific taste test 🤓

I’ll be whipping up pumpkin pies all week long in order to find my one true (recipe) love. Click on the link in my bio to meet the nominees 👩🏻‍🍳
