Do you have leftovers? How about random odds and ends of produce, cheese, or deli meats? Canned goods that you’re not sure how to use? In this class, you will learn how to turn anything into a savory pie that will trick even the pickiest eaters into gobbling up what might have been thrown away (or left to rot in the back of the fridge). Savory pies of all shapes and sizes are the fanciest conduit to scrappy waste-free cooking.

No special tools, equipment or ingredients needed (see below).

In this all ages virtual cooking workshop, you will prepare a versatile pastry dough that can be used for all sorts of savory pies — pot pies, galettes, patties, empanadas, turnovers, hand pies, and more. You will then raid your own fridge and pantry to find the ingredients you need to create a filling (or two or three) for those pies. I’ll demonstrate various ways to roll out and shape the dough tailored to your interests and the tools you have on hand. Then you’ll bake your pies for an incredible meal or learn how to savor them for another day.

  • all purpose flour

  • butter (or vegetable shortening, earth balance or coconut oil)
