Nichelle Nichols, the actress who played the pioneering television role of Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek franchise, has passed on to the ages at the age of 89.
As a tribute, the master pie chef Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin has composed this work. We have often featured Clark-Bojin’s past work, such as this pie for the Chinese Year of the Tiger.
The Star Trek pie pictured above shows Uhura back when she was a full lieutenant working the communications station on the bridge of the old Enterprise. Clark-Bojin does not describe the ingredients or composition of her pie, for now is a time to celebrate Nichols more than pie.
