Spiced Maple Pecan Pie with Star Anise Video on Chow.com

I shot this video for Spiced Maple Pecan Pie with Star Anise when I was in SF last month and had an absolute blast doing it. There were a few mishaps along the way (as in, I had to leave before the pie was finished baking and I burned the nuts and had to redo them), but you'd never know it from this slick and pretty funny video (if I may say so myself). You'll also find the recipe - and it's a keeper: rich and nutty, layered with warm spices and  maple syrup buttery-ness.  You may even find yourself making this pie in February. After all pecans pie tastes good all year long.
