Insure that your pie does not have a soggy crust. Time & temperature play an important role in baking success. Can you really prep a pumpkin pie weeks in advance? In this class, you will learn the secrets to make pumpkin pie with a great homemade crust for immediate consumption or in advance. What To Expect Students will: Learn to properly measure baking ingredients Watch a live a pie crust making demonstration Prepare pie filling and pie crust from scratch Plan ahead skills for making pumpkin pie Blind bake the crust and bake the pie after class Caution: Successful homemade pies take hours. This class focuses on blind baking techniques and time and temperature. It is an old school forum. Plan ahead. I love to teach the science and the art of making good food. My teaching philosophy is to set my students up for success and teach them why we do what we do. I like beautiful and tasty food. However, I found that bakers succeed through preparation, knowledge, and patience. My teaching style is interactive. My classes build kitchen confidence, sanitation awareness, and viable skills. Once a student learns to read a recipe or follow directions, they have obtained a valuable skill set. Learning becomes more than books it is on a continuum.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Illinois Teaching Certificate
I have an extensive kitchen history that includes baking. I come from a line of great cooks. My Aunt Elaine, grandmother, and father were legends. I was fortunate to attend Home Economics class in High School and became a self-taught cake decorator by 16. I went on to take formal classes from CIA( Culinary Institute of America) graduates and worked under few chefs. But my all time favorite class was Food Chemistry. Most of my cooking experience has been gained in other people's kitchen in Sweden, Japan, St. John V.I., and throughout the United States. I have taught students as young as 2 years old to adults. I am certified in Food Sanitation and Safety. I am available to host group classes, gatherings, and parties. My classroom goal is to emphasize the importance of preparation, knowledge, and patience. My teaching style is interactive. My classes build kitchen confidence, sanitation awareness, and viable skills.
