Pies from Scratch: Apple Galette
Taught by Sarah Lohman
Sarah Lohman is a culinary historian and the author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed book Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine. She focuses on the history of American food as a way to access stories of women, immigrants, and people of color, and to address issues of racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Her work has been featured inTheWall Street Journal andThe New York Times, as well as onAll Things Considered; and she has presented across the country, from the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, DC to The Culinary Historians of Southern California. She is also 1/2 of the Masters of Social Gastronomy, a monthly food science and history talk at Caveat NYC, with Brainery co-founder Jonathan Soma.
In this hands-on class, we'll bake a pie from start to finish with in-season fruit (apples, in this case). All your pie questions will be answered: What is the best fat to use for a crust? How do I stop my filling from being oozey? How do I make that cool crinkly edge? And so much more as we talk technique!
Each participant will make their own mini galette to take home and bake, as well as get to enjoy a slice of pie in class.
(this class is not gluten free!)
