What You’ll Do

Sugar and spice tend to get all the attention, even though the true hero of a quality pie is a fresh, flaky foundation. Culinary artist Tené Harris aims to change that, however, teaching students in her two-hour workshop how to mix and knead their own crust for an individually-portioned pie. And Tené imparts more than baking technique, too—she also shares some of the legal and business facets of the cottage food industry.

• Knead the Dough
  While mixing, rolling, and folding your pastry dough, take guidance from Tené and learn about crust’s many delicious uses.

• Filling and Bake
  Shape and fill your crust with chicken and vegetables, sweet potatoes, or spiced apples.

• Perfect Your Technique at Home
  You’ll take away everything needed to make a second pie at home: your first pastry, a bag of dough, and all the knowledge you gained.

Tené Harris
Culinary Artist

When Tené Harris was just a child in her grandmother’s kitchen, a spark took root in her heart—a spark that would grow into a bustling culinary-arts career. Since then, her treats have attracted fans in high places: her ambrosia macaroons became one of the LA Times’ 10 Holiday Cookie Bake-Off victors in 2011, and in the summer of 2014 she served as private chef to royal Saudi philanthropist Prince Bandar bin Saud bin Khalid Al-Saud. As an independent treats purveyor, she sells oven-harvested goods through goodeggs.com, and as an instructor, she inspires home cooks to upgrade their own dessert-engineering techniques.
