About This Class
Chicken. Pot. Pie. Three of our favorite words that together form the classic comfort food dish. Moist chicken, seasonal vegetables, creamy velouté sauce made from homemade chicken stock, and that golden flaky crust. It is the perfect, warming one pot meal which is easily made in advance, and in bulk, to last you through the winter.
Join Jessica and David for dinner with examples of pies made with tender pâte brisée and crispy puff pastry. Each student will go home with their own creations to share (or not) with their friends and family.
Menu
Everyone will create their own chicken pot pie using seasonal vegetables and their choice of crust. We’ll also have many varieties of chicken pot pie available for you to try.

FAQ
The average duration of our current cooking classes is 2 hours, which is predominately hands-on work. You will be standing for the majority of class, cooking at your work station as your instructor demonstrates techniques and walks around providing individual feedback.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we can not have students congregate in the building before class starts. Doors will open 5 minutes prior to class starting and we will begin promptly on time. Students will be asked to queue up outside the door of the school, safely distanced (sidewalks are clearly marked) and will be let in the school just before class begins.
Please arrive at the school with your own mask on. You will be given a new, disposable mask to wear in class to ensure what you have on hasn’t been contaminated prior to entering SFCS. We will have extras available should you need one while at school.
Wear comfortable clothes and close-toed shoes (remember, you’ll be on your feet cooking). The kitchens at SFCS are fully equipped with everything else you need, including clean aprons.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we will not be serving food or drinks during class, We will, however, be sending you home with both ingredients and finished food items so you can enjoy them later, and practice as well.
Wear casual clothing you can easily move around in, and comfortable close-toed shoes. Long hair must be pulled back and masks, provided by SFCS, are required while in the building.
