Kirsten Jenkins is a food stylist and also a former food editor for Donna Hay. The pair met working together on SBS's food magazine Feast. Phoebe became a pie convert after spending time in New York, where pie is perennial, and she quickly discovered that you can't escape a Thanksgiving without the sweet bliss of a pecan or pumpkin pie. She says she decided to experiment with her own crusts and fillings and realised what a crowd pleaser pie can be.

Kirsten shared Phoebe's aesthetic, and love of pies. They dreamt up this project as a vehicle to inspire a relatively unexplored dessert trend in Australia. Phoebe has written the recipes, they sourced props together, and Kirsten styled and took the photographs at Phoebe's parents' farm at Bathurst. A small, but efficient team of two.
