Eating blueberries was a treat when I was little. It didn’t happen that often, but when it did it was in the form of blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. I loved biting into the plump blueberries and the stain they left when I smiled like the Cheshire Cat to show off my purple teeth. This week’s recipe from the amazing new cookbook Soul: A Chef’s Culinary Evolution in 150 Recipes by Chef Todd Richards encloses summer’s plumpest blueberries in a crisp crust to make Fried Blueberry Pies with Meyer Lemon Glaze. You get a two-in-one with this recipe, because Todd uses a crust recipe by Erika Council of Southern Soufflé. —Kristina

Why Todd loves these pies: This is a special dish, especially for summer, because the combination of textures between the crisp crust and the bursting freshness of the blueberries is incredible. The inspiration for this dish comes from growing up in Chicago and eating Hostess pies… this is a bit more healthy!
