Well friends, a lot of the year has slipped through my fingertips, and I’m missing you people, the chatter in the kitchen and the fun we have together. It’s that nostalgic time of year to dust off the holiday traditions and one of my absolute favorites is teaching Pie Class. Because somewhere along the the way, a lot of people have lost the fine art of a from-scratch pie made lovingly by their own hands – for their loved ones or for themselves. 😉
And to be honest, after last week’s Presidential election, I need some good ol’ pie-making therapy, too. I promise not to bring up politics at Pie Class. I’ll do my best to just work it all out in the dough.
You’ll see there’s a Pie Class open to all THIS Saturday, November 19th at 1 p.m. If you want to attend Saturday’s class, please call 316-990-4493 ASAP with your reservation – number of pie(s), what kind and if you would like to make any extra crusts.
The two other Pie Classes listed are private. Don’t mean to be exclusionary here, however, if ya fill a class, you, too, can have a private one. I’d dance with the thought of maybe one more class in December. And if nobody wants another Pie Class, maybe I’ll get wild and do a Holiday Appetizer class.
I’ve taught here and there over the past 6 months with just one-off classes. Life has gotten in the way and the sitting down and planning gets pushed off. In January, I’ll have classes 2 – 3 times per month. Scaling back a bit from my old schedule of more. My food styling business is going well and those jobs keep me hopping. And I’m still making space for that cookbook I keep referencing.
Whether I see you or not before this Holiday Season, I wish you the best!

Pie Bakin’ by yours truly
Hi, Adriene! My name is Lisa Marvin & I’m trying to come up with a fun & different gift idea for Christmas for my husband. Came across your web site & was wondering what classes you may have scheduled for the upcoming year & what your prices are. We both love food but like simple & quick recipes as we both work. Also-neither of us likes seafood-so, no need to mention any class that would include that! I’ll look forward to hearing from you! Thank You!!
Hi Lisa, So sorry I’m just now getting caught up! Probably too late here. I apologize. Call me if you’d like to discuss a private class: 990-4493. Thank you!
Hi Adriene,
I am interested in setting up or attending a cooking class as a Christmas present for my daughters (3) and myself after the first of the year. I would like to purchase a gift certificate as I see that you do not yet have a schedule of classes for the new year. Would that be possible?
Hi Jan! So sorry, I just saw this message. I would imagine it’s too late since Christmas has come & gone. Should you be interested still, please give me a call & we can discuss: 990-4493. Thank you so much!
When will next pie class be?
Hi Tim! Next pie class will likely be in the Spring so we can have fresh produce! Thanks for your interest! In case you missed it, I shared my crust recipe in the article I wrote for the Wichita Eagle on Dec. 21st.
When will you have a list of new classes for 2017? I am very interested in a seafood class – any chance of that? Thank you!
Hi Julie! You’re on my list of people to contact when new schedule is up. I should have it completed this week. I will try to incorporate a seafood class! Haven’t done one in a while.
Hey, Adrine!
How do you spell the word “butter” in french?
Hint: It is NOT “burre”. It’s really hard to take someone seriously if they can’t even spell cooking terms correctly. Does the Eagle even have an Editor anymore??
Are you still giving cooking classes? When would the next one be?
Jamie, I teach only occasionally. I have pie classes this weekend, if that interests you. Otherwise, there might be a class before the end of the year.
