Class Description

Description

Explore the basics of two types of pastry dough in this cooking class—a traditional flaky crust for sweet and savory pies as well as a sweet tart dough for a rich and crisp dessert base. Practice the different preparation, rolling, and shaping of both types. 

Learn how to make: 
  • Luscious lemon curd filling
  • a bacon, arugula, and tomato quiche
  • a summer fruit pie for dessert. 
Take home two individual seasonal fruit tarts and a fluted pie shell to enjoy at home later. 

Please bring a nine-inch pie pan.

  • Hands-on Cooking: Pies and Tarts
