Do pie crusts scare you like they used to scare me? I would NEVER in a million years sign up to make a pie for a event if my life depended on it.  For me, I wanted my pies to flakey and tender.  Over the course of about 8 months, I made roughly about 60 pies, trying to figure out the best and easiest way for ME to not have a fear of the pie.  Why were grannies pies so good and tender?

I will teach you my ways in this class.  If I can figure it out, you can too! I might not be Betty Crocker, but I do believe I make a pretty darn good pie now in my ripe old age!

Each participant will make- and-take two pie crusts to use in your own kitchen. 

**Please bring two- 9 inch pie plates for your make and take pie crust.​

Chinese Hot Pot 
Who doesn't think of Genghis Khan's troops huddled around boiling cauldrons over open fires, cooking their meat in steaming hot broth? Probably most of us.  There's other "versions" like Shabu Shabu or fondue, for that matter, but regardless of the name, there is nothing like gathering and cooking in a communal style.  We've done this a few times over the years, the first being after coming home from Cambodia, and cooking like this is hard to explain and better to experience - so here's your chance. 

Bubbling broths simmering in hot pots at the table- Plates of assorted Chinese veggies, dumplings, meat and seafoods. This is a evening that is packed with fresh and deep flavors that make my mouth water just thinking about it.  

​Pizza!  la pizza Napolentana!
Who doesn't LOVE a hot slice of pizza? We are on team EAT-IT-ALL-THE-TIME! Over the years we have been trying all the methods of preparing the humble pie. Grilling, pizza stone, cast iron, "brick oven, wood fired" our inexpensive version, { that we built using what we have on hand} and also a camp chef version. 

I think it's safe to say we are not afraid to give it our best shot on making a delicious pie in a simple way so you can go home and recreate with confidence a dang tasty pizza. 

In this class you will get to use all the methods mentioned to see what taste and texture you like best!
