Holiday Pies

Picture
Custard pies.
Don't know what they are?
These are pies that set up because of the eggs mixed in.  I'll teach you the basics and more from my newly-published cookbook. Come watch, learn, and sample some homemade pumpkin pie, pecan pie (pictured), cranberry pie, and lemon chess pie.  We'll also have a simple, flaky, and delicious no-roll pastry crust.

Sauce & Soup Magic

Picture
No more need to buy cans of condensed cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, or cheese soup.  Make your own fresh versions with one basic recipe, adjust it to your own tastes, and avoid those additives and "tin"-y taste!  You can even make sweet sauces and puddings using the basics.

Does it take too long to cook?  When you cook without recipes, you can cook much more quickly, and have the flexibility to cook with what's on hand. 
Learn the core formula for quickbreads and what role the ingredients play.  Includes what the difference is between baking powder and baking soda, and when to use which one.   You can make pancakes, muffins, English scones, biscuits, quick breadsticks, fritters, cake doughnuts, onion rings, drop biscuits, cornbread, and much more.
