Let’s be honest: outside of the holiday season, few of us want to deal with the high-maintenance personality of a classic pie crust. Don’t let the threat of soggy bottoms and slumping sides keep you from enjoying flaky pastry classic all year round. Join guest teacher and vegetable evangelist Marie Brennan for a livestream small group workshop that solves the pie problem with one word: galettes. With no blind baking and no tedious crimping, galettes are what Marie describes as the pastry equivalent of that dinner guest who always knows what to say and gets along with everyone.

In this workshop, capped at just 25 attendees, you'll master the techniques needed to create buttery, flaky crust that serves as the foundation for both sweet and savory galette variations. Both of Marie's seasonally-inspired fillings showcase spring's bounty. Your dinner can be a galette folded rustically around tender asparagus nestled in creamy lemon-scented ricotta—and your dessert can feature vibrant strawberries paired with tarragon and pine nuts. Whatever the flavors, you'll learn Marie's secrets to rolling, filling and folding galettes that never leak, always turn golden brown and are sturdy enough to support their fillings. You'll leave with the confidence to create these free-form tarts at home, along with endless possibilities for your own creative variations. Plus, we'll cheers with a simple non-alcoholic beverage that smartly pairs with both of these bakes.
