Virtual Cook Along: Pie and Tart Workshop

Making pies and tarts isn't as hard as you might think. Join us in the comfort of your own home as our chef instructor virtually guides you through the ins and outs of making and rolling out tender, flaky dough. We’ll make a fruit-filled pie and a chocolate tart, both baked to golden brown perfection in this intensely interactive 2-hour virtual workshop. We can’t think of a better way to spend our Sunday!

Price of the class includes 1 recipe (2 disks) of pie dough needed for the class that’s available for curbside pickup at Lincoln Square on Thursday 12/3 or Saturday 12/5 from 3-5pm . We’ll be making pie dough in the class, but because it needs ample time to chill, we would like you to have a batch of dough ready to go before class. If you’re unable to swing by and pick up your dough, please make a batch a day before class. See the recipe and video link included in your recipe packet for step-by-step instructions.
