Chef Heidi is here to help! Join this fun, informative, hands-on cooking class, where she will guide you through the step-by-step process of making pie. Eliminate the frustration and learn to love pie-making with her down-to-earth, straightforward tips and techniques. Tonight's class will focus on basic fruit pies. Each participant will make their very own apple pie from start to finish and take it home to impress their family and friends. “Easy as pie” Participants can choose to make their pie with any of the following fats (all will be provided in class): butter, locally-made lard, or vegan shortening. This class cannot accommodate a gluten-free participant. PLEASE BRING: an 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan, a baking sheet, and oven mitts or clean dish towels (these last two are to help carry your hot-from-the-oven pie to your car). NOTE: we will be sampling pies in class, but there will be no dinner. Unlike with my other classes, please eat dinner or a substantial snack before class.
