Pies are not just for dessert, but taste delicious throughout the whole meal. Brush up on your pie and crust-making skills on Saturday, August 22 at 10:30 am as Christie Saali shows how to make four scrumptious pies. Two pies are savory creations: fresh tomato-mozzarella pie with a basil crust and a French-style shellfish en croute. Dessert follows with fresh peach and plum hand pies and chocolate-strawberry ice cream pie. What are hand pies? Why, they are pies that don’t require a fork!

Chef-instructor Christie Saali, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, has been teaching cooking classes for more than seven years and pastry is one of her specialties. She cooked in the fabulous kitchen of the St. Louis Club and taught cooking classes in Chicago for four years. Her enthusiasm for baking is infectious and she puts everyone at ease in the kitchen, especially in participation classes. Join her for “Beauty is Only Crust Deep.”
