SUMMER SEASONAL BAKING: PIES AND TARTS
Thursday, August 5th 7:00 – 9:30pm $50

Class Description:
The hot sun of August brings forth some of the sweetest, juiciest berries and fruits known to man, not to mention incredible vegetables! What better way to highlight this delectable summer produce than with an unmistakably buttery and flaky pastry shell? In this course, you’ll learn some of my favorite pie and tart shell recipes – including my grandma’s legendary tender crust. We will learn some of the science behind making the crust so you can create the perfect balance of tenderness and flakiness at home. We’ll also do a crust tasting, so you can pick your favorite! The menu includes both sweet and savory applications. We will fill these beautiful pie and tart shells the season’s best, using some interesting ingredients (such as zests, spices and herbs) to bring out their natural flavors.

Class Menu: This menu will expand as the date grows closer and we know what is absolutely best!
