Food Comics: French Meat Pie

Written by Tom O. | Nov 1, 2016 1:30:00 PM

We are pleased to introduce Food Comics from The Chopping Block where our resident Cartoonist Tom O'Brien illustrates his cooking adventures. Here, he shows us how to make one of his family's favorite pies: Tourtiere or French Meat Pie. 

Want to learn more pie-making techniques? Don't miss our upcoming Holiday Pies and Tarts hands-on cooking class on Monday, November 21 at the Merchandise Mart. You'll learn how to make the perfect pie dough I mentioned above and put it to use in Chocolate Meringue Tart, Apple Cranberry Crostata and Mini Sweet Potao Pies with Praline. 

We'll also show you how to make our famous Apple Pie during this Thursday's Customer Appreciation Day at the Mart as well as our most popular Thanksgiving class: Thanksgiving Crash Course and new this year: Taste of Thanksgiving.

If you don't have time to make your own pies for the holiday, let our chefs handle dessert. We have Apple and Pumpkin Pies available for pick up at both of our locations during the week of Thanksgiving. Place your order today!
