Autumn Galettes: Sweet & Savory

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our registration policies here. 

Pie crusts can be intimidating. The threat of mushy, under-cooked undersides and the fear of rolling out concentric dough has kept many people from trying their hand at this pastry classic. Enter the galette. Galettes have all the flavor of pies but are far more low key. No blind baking and no tedious crust crimping. They are the pastry equivalent of the dinner guest who always knows what to say and gets along with everyone. 

In this autumn edition of our popular class with Marie, both galettes feature tantalizing flavor pairings that elevate the final products to be more than the sum of their parts. We will be combining tangy tomatillos with sassy chilies and savory cotija as well as fresh, fleeting figs with nuanced goat’s chevre. Your palate is in for a treat. Join us as we learn how to make beautiful and flaky crusts while saluting the season with fillings that feature the produce of autumn.
