Whole Food Plant Based Cooking
Nancy Travis - Early in life I delighted in cooking for my family. My father instilled an appreciation of quality food with beautiful presentation. Drawn to the health aspects of plant-based cooking as an adult, in the 90’s I studied at the Natural Gourmet Cookery School and learned macrobiotics at the Vega Institute. I furthered my natural foods expertise through operating a vegetarian restaurant in Seattle with a focus on whole foods. After raising my children full-time, I went back to professional cooking in 2009 starting a personal chef business on Bainbridge Island and operating a small “grab and go” café for two years in a yoga center. Then in 2016, I completed a certificate in Plant-Based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell. I bring more than 20 years of experience in plant-based meal preparation and love helping people reach their goals for wellness.

Homemade apple pie with pre-cooked filling
We will be presenting an alternative to traditional homemade apple pie by preparing an apple pie with pre-cooked filling. Pre-cooked filling contains the same ingredients as traditional apple pie, but with an added step that allows for greater control over the tenderness of your apples, the amount of liquid in your filling, greater depth of flavor, and cleaner-cut slices once chilled. Learn about this great way to create a foolproof apple pie, which can be prepared ahead of time for the upcoming holidays! We will also briefly discuss baking apples versus non-baking apples, taste test, demonstrate pie crust technique, ingredients and finishes, and attendees will leave with a homemade crust and filling, ready to be baked at home. Attendees are welcome to bring their favorite oven-safe pie plate.

Build a wooden pie box with punched copper top, make a pie to fill it, and carry them both home. And in the process, gain experience on tools in three BARN studios: Woodworking, Metal Arts and Kitchen Arts.
In this three-evening class, you will use a table saw, chop saw and other tools to build the basic box from cypress. In the sheet metal shop, you will create a decorative punched-metal top, which will allow steam to escape as your pie cools., and a stainless steel drawer to hold the pie. And, in BARN's commercial kitchen, you will bake a pie from scratch to carry home and enjoy, perhaps as a rehearsal for a Thanksgiving pie.
Details:
Instructors: Carol Fiedler Kawaguchi will guide the woodworking phase, Jack Archer the sheet metal work, and Kate McDill, the baking component. Carol is a professional furniture restorer. Jack is the retired owner of a sheet metal business and heads BARN's sheet metal programs. Kate is a member of BARN's Kitchen Arts group, and baking is her passion.
