Event

Perfect Pie Crust

Learn to make rich pie dough with a special method that results in an incredibly tender crust. The event will include a lecture, demonstration, and tasty samplings of fruit pies made with various types of crusts.

The class will begin with a review of ingredients and equipment, then proceed to a demonstration of assembling dough and rolling it out. Participants will then make their own dough to take home. Master recipes for various kinds of delicious seasonal pies will be included. Deborah Trainer, home baker, will lead the class.

Please bring an apron and the metal bowl from your KitchenAid mixer or another high-sided metal bowl.

Class is limited to 10 people. Well-behaved children accompanied by an adult are welcome.

Proceeds from this event will fund the work of Slow Food Los Angeles's Social Action Committee. No refunds will be issued unless the event is canceled.

About the Social Action Committee:
Kat Alexander and Emily Ventura co-chair the committee. Planned work for 2009 includes expanding access to fresh, sustainable food in the food deserts of Los Angeles by supporting farmer's markets and gardening. In addition, they will be recruiting "student delegates," both high school students from underserved areas of Los Angeles who are passionate about social change as well as college students working to improve food choices on their campuses.
