ONSITE CLASS: Pot Pie, Hand Pie, Oh My! with Chef Jill Garcia Schmidt

We are offering the ability to sit right in our kitchens as Chef Jill Garcia Schmidt teaches this quick & easy cooking class.  Yup.  You’ll interact with Chef in an intimate kitchen setting but we know why you’re really here…the smells, the wine, the “behind the scenes” experience and oh yes…the TASTES!   That’s what we thought. 

Here’s the class description:  

Join us in our kitchen for a savory 2-hour class that will springboard your cooking to new heights as you learn all about savory pies. 

Enter Chef & Lead Instructor Jill Garcia to lead this informative culinary class as she welcomes you to the wonderful world of main-dish pies. She’s passionate about cooking, and always makes sure to ‘bring the fun’ to her classes. You’ll see.

Chef Jill will talk all about the proteins involved in each style and discuss the ingredients used to make these pies shine.

First, no matter which style you’re making, it all starts with a flaky crust, so she’ll walk you through the steps to make your own – yes, people, from scratch! Once learned, the sky’s the limited on what you can do with this recipe.  The fillings are versatile too! 

Chef Jill will teach a creamy Beef and Vegetable Hand Pie and a dreamy chicken filling that makes THE best Pot Pie Ever. Yuuummmmy!   

Of course, you’ll get to taste (and smell them cooking) in class, and we’ll provide the recipes for both dishes so you can re-create these tasty pie gems at home.

NOTE: For Onsite Classes, when you arrive, please check in with our Class Assistant who will give you information as to where you will be seated.  We will be arranging our classrooms to allow for social distancing. In order to comply with governmental orders and for the protection of our guests and staff, we ask that you wear a mask when here at The Culinary Center of Kansas City. If you are planning to sit next to someone else attending the class, we would suggest arriving at least 20 minutes prior to the start time of the class so that we can address that request.  Both students would need to be comfortable with the request to be seated together. Thank you!
