The End of Baking 101

[hollyking]

Tonight was the last session of the Baking 101 class I've been taking at Cook's World. We covered pies and tarts and during class made an apple pie, strawberry pie and fresh fruit tarts. There were three different kinds of crust involved and I feel a lot more confident about making pie crust. In fact I am going to bake a series of pies to practice all the different pie crusts and determine which ones I like the best. The question now is what kind of pie to make... Nothing too complicated as I want to focus on the crust instead of the filling. Apple perhaps...

After taking Baking 101 I would recommend it for anyone who would like to bake but doesn't feel very confident in the kitchen. I learned quite a bit in the class and the hands on aspect was a great help to get the techniques down.

I would be interested in reading the results of your crust tests. Although, crust-making in the NW and in Colorado are two different animals.

No problem. I'll post all about it.

What kind of pie? Gooseberry of course.

Strangely I haven't found many gooseberries around here. This is not right in my opinion.
