Sweet and Savory Scones with Sister Pie (Virtual)

In this class, Lisa Ludwinski, owner of Sister Pie in Detroit, will guide you through making one of her favorite bakery treats: scones! Together, you'll learn how to make sweet scones and savory scones, using fresh produce and seasonal ingredients.

Lisa Ludwinski spent her childhood in Milford, Michigan making too-salty cookies and directing her neighbor friends in home movies. She studied Theatre Arts at Kalamazoo College before moving away to Brooklyn, NY to pursue dreams of directing. Naturally, the vibrant food culture of New York led to distraction that resulted in a low-budget cooking show called Funny Side Up that Lisa filmed in the many tiny apartment kitchens she inhabited over the course of her six-year stay. In 2012, she moved back to Michigan with dreams of opening a bakery with a big-hearted mission: make delicious food and treat your community (employees, neighbors, partners) well. Lisa launched Sister Pie out of her parent's Milford kitchen and began to build the business piece-by-piece, with the help of many supporters and a whole lot of dancing. She and a small crew of passionate women opened the doors to the Detroit pie shop in April 2015, and they've been hustling ever since. Lisa currently lives with her pup Ruby Thursday in the West Village of Detroit - an approximate six minute walk away from Sister Pie.

Plant-Based Pastries with Heike Meyer (Virtual)

In celebration of Earth Day, join Heike Meyer, as she takes a deep dive into plant-based baking! As you bake along, she’ll explain in depth how baking with whole foods can bring on so many new possibilities. You’ll experience different preparations for ingredients and techniques as well as flavors, textures and presentations. Heike’s Summer Fruit with Tofu Cheesecake, Carrot Cake with optional Marzipan and Coconut Crème finishes and Chocolate Nougat Bar recipes will most definitely become your go-to’s. This interactive bake along is open to all bakers no matter what level of experience or knowledge. If you thought you couldn’t enjoy baked goods due to a plant-based lifestyle, you are mistaken! 

Please note: This class requires a digital scale, and a food processor or blender. This class uses a lot of nuts to bring flavor, texture and creaminess to the pastries, and is not well suited to be adapted to be nut-free.

Heike was born in Berlin, Germany and learned the craft of baking at Weichard Brot, Berlin's oldest biodynamic bakery. She studied at the German National Baking Academy in Weinheim, Germany and has since worked alongside many craft bakers in Europe and North America. She and her husband moved to Vermont in 2008 to start Brot Bakehouse School and Kitchen, a school focused on natural baking and food education. She is teaching about sourdough baking in her micro-bakery in Vermont, and all over North America and Europe. Her passion is to travel and study the rich traditions of sourdough and bread baking around the world.

Lime Meringue Viennese Whirls with The Great British Bake Off’s Crystelle Pereira - Demo (Virtual)

Fans and fans-to-be, allow this 1 hour baking demonstration to bridge the gap between seasons 2021 and 2022 of the ever-popular show, The Great British Bake Off. King Arthur Baking proudly presents Crystelle Pereira, one of the show’s most favored finalists from season 2021. The show’s 2021 season may be in the past, but Crystelle’s love for baking and baking from the heart continues. Join Crystelle as she whirls us through the process of making a classic teatime biscuit called Viennese Whirls – the combination of buttery, crumbly biscuits with buttercream and jam, only with a few twists. Crystelle couldn’t help but reinvent and revamp this classic, taking flavors from the more American classic: the Key Lime Pie. Soft, pillowy Swiss meringue, paired with tangy, fresh lime curd, and the buttery biscuit with added texture and flavor from poppy seeds and lime zest, takes this sandwich biscuit to the next level! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors makes the biscuit not sickly sweet, and dangerously moreish. In this 1 hour baking demonstration, Crystelle will show how to make three very important and often tricky components: swiss meringue, lime curd, and a piped biscuit. It won’t be long before you make them too, we promise!

Crystelle Pereira is a 26-year old quick-witted cook and baker from London. Born in North London to Kenyan born, Portuguese-Goan parents, Crystelle loves sharing both her Portuguese-Goans recipes, but also recipes packed full of flavours from around the world. She stole the hearts of the nation in the Great British Bake Off (Channel 4 and Netflix USA, 2021), where she reached the final. 
In December 2021, Vanity Fair named Crystelle as one of their Top Performances of 2021 alongside a whole host of Hollywood stars.
Crystelle has a loyal following of predominantly UK and US audiences. Her short-form Reels and TikToks amass hundreds of thousands of views.
Crystelle speaks four languages and spent the past few years working in a top finance firm.

Plant-Based Baking for Beginners with Heike Meyer (Virtual)

In this class we want to highlight the deliciousness, the beauty, and the simplicity of plant-based baking without the use of hard-to-get ingredients or additives. That’s why we chose two recipes that are familiar in their original form but even more delicious in their plant-based variation. And they are easy to make whether you are an experienced baker or a total beginner. You should be able to get most ingredients in a regular supermarket (look in the “natural” or “organic foods” section). For some ingredients, visit your local food coop, organic food market, Asian supermarket, or just order online. During the class we will talk about the choice of ingredients, general tools and techniques for plant-based baking (e.g., replacing eggs with chia or flax seeds) and discuss adaptations for gluten-free and allergy-friendly baking. 

Heike was born in Berlin, Germany and learned the craft of baking at Weichard Brot, Berlin's oldest biodynamic bakery. She studied at the German National Baking Academy in Weinheim, Germany and has since worked alongside many craft bakers in Europe and North America.

From the Wood-Fired Oven with Richard Miscovich (Vermont)

Join Richard Miscovich for a special class based on his beautiful book, From the Wood-Fired Oven. Go beyond bread and pizza and start using the full range of temperatures your oven offers. Create inferno whiplash live fire cooking environments or gentle thermo-cradle infusion spas. Cooking in this way is satisfying, delicious and energy efficient. Who wants to bake beans in their home oven for 6 hours, even if it is only at 250°F? You have the heat why not use it?

Richard will use King Arthur’s wood-fired oven to guide students through Friday evening’s live fire cooking session which includes farinita (the crêpe-like Italian chickpea flour flatbread), pita, zataar flatbreads and ember roasted vegetables. In addition to enjoying the flames and wood-fired cuisine, we will talk about different firing options and how to prep the oven for Saturday’s day of cooking and baking.
On Saturday we will primarily bake with retained heat to make a hearty hearth bread, dry aged chicken, Kugula (Lithuanian Potato Casserole) and roasted vegetables for our own-wood-fired lunch. We’ll discuss thermodynamically appropriate items on the low end of the temperature range…like schmaltz, sprouted wheat power bars and beef jerky. Tools and accessories for cooking in these diverse temperature ranges will be on hand, as well as printed materials that illustrate the construction of different types of wood-fired ovens. Firing techniques will be demonstrated so you can learn how to quickly build an efficient fire. Saturday lunch included.

Richard Miscovich is a Department Chair and teaches artisan bread baking to culinary students at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, and to home and professional bakers at classes and conferences around the country. Richard is a Bread Bakers Guild of America Certified Bread Baker and served three terms on the Board of Directors. He is the author of From the Wood-Fired Oven and instructs the online Craftsy course “Handmade Sourdough: From Starter to Baked Loaf”. An avid gardener, Richard enjoys growing a variety of backyard grains.

Sourdough Pastry Classics with Heike Meyer (Vermont)

France, Austria, Italy and Germany are places were some of our most popular pastries originate - but how were traditionally made, and how did they change over time? In this class we go back to the origins of many of the pastries we know and love today: Brioche, Cakes, and Biscuits have surprising roots, often coming from times when there was no commercial yeast available and bakers relied on natural fermentation. While working with original European recipes, we learn about the (almost forgotten) art of baking with natural starter cultures and how to apply them in today's pastry baking. At the same time we take a deep look at the fascinating history of natural pastry making and bake our way across the old world.

On day one we will talk about starter cultures and how to build, maintain and refresh them. We will also dive deeper into the alchemy of natural starter cultures and why baking with them requires care and attention. On the second day we will take a deeper look at some recipes and bake them together: Reviving an almost forgotten Brioche recipe from the Provence region, bringing in some winter hygge with a Cardamom Sourdough Roll, a sweet, buttery bread from Eastern Europe and exploring seasonal cakes with inspirations from Germany and beyond.

If you are interested in baking with natural starter cultures, converting your favorite recipes from commercial yeast to sourdough, or just love baking classic European pastries, this class is for you. It is best suited for intermediate to advanced home bakers who would like to broaden their knowledge about natural baking, or sourdough bread bakers who already have some understanding about baking with starter cultures and want to bring this to the next level with pastries.

Heike was born in Berlin, Germany and learned the craft of baking at Weichard Brot, Berlin's oldest biodynamic bakery. She studied at the German National Baking Academy in Weinheim, Germany and has since worked alongside many craft bakers in Europe and North America. She and her husband moved to Vermont in 2008 to start Brot Bakehouse School and Kitchen, a school focused on natural baking and food education. She is teaching about sourdough baking in her micro-bakery in Vermont, and all over North America and Europe. Her passion is to travel and study the rich traditions of sourdough and bread baking around the world.

Late Summer Baking: Pies and More with Lisa Ludwinski of Sister Pie (Vermont)

We are thrilled to welcome back Lisa Ludwinski! Lisa uses bold and unexpected flavor combinations that will surprise and delight.  In this two-day class you will be making recipes out of the Sister Pie cookbook. Pies will be dripping with late summer fruits such as Blueberry Plum Balsamic Pie and also Honey Lemon Meringue. But, there is more to Sister Pie than just pies. Her whimsical Rose Pistachio Shortbread finished with a rose petal icing will captivate. You’ll be exposed to amazing flavors and be taking a deep dive into pie pastry technique, par-baking and finishing touches, just in time for pie season!

Lisa Ludwinski spent her childhood in Milford, Michigan making too-salty cookies and directing her neighbor friends in home movies. She studied Theatre Arts at Kalamazoo College before moving away to Brooklyn, NY to pursue dreams of directing. Naturally, the vibrant food culture of New York led to distraction that resulted in a low-budget cooking show called Funny Side Up that Lisa filmed in the many tiny apartment kitchens she inhabited over the course of her six-year stay. In 2012, she moved back to Michigan with dreams of opening a bakery with a big-hearted mission: make delicious food and treat your community (employees, neighbors, partners) well. Lisa launched Sister Pie out of her parent's Milford kitchen and began to build the business piece-by-piece, with the help of many supporters and a whole lot of dancing. She and a small crew of passionate women opened the doors to the Detroit pie shop in April 2015, and they've been hustling ever since. Lisa currently lives with her pup Ruby Thursday in the West Village of Detroit - an approximate six minute walk away from Sister Pie.

Land of Enrichment: Breads with Flair with Andrew Janjigian (Vermont)

"Enrichment” in bread baking usually implies the addition of fat—in the form of butter or oil—and eggs or milk, in order to give the breads a plush texture, a rich flavor and a resistance to staling. But there are other ways to achieve similar results in breads, often while using far less fat. In this class we will cover both classic enriched breads such as brioche & challah, along with those that use cooked starches to produce a comparable richness, including porridge breads, potato bread, and breads that use a tangzhong or flour scald. 

Andrew Janjigian is a writer, recipe developer, and baking instructor from Cambridge, MA. He writes for a variety of publications and venues, among them Cook’s Illustrated magazine (where he was a senior editor and resident breadhead for 11 years), Serious Eats, Epicurious, King Arthur Baking Company, and his own breaducational newsletter, Wordloaf.
