I told the class last night that I love creating kitchens and having conversations about food. Sometimes the kitchens are very humble, made of only a few tables pushed together, some bowls, flour and stories. It takes me some time to process after each event and I am grateful to everyone who came and were willing to try something new. I hope you will join me in taking inspiration from what sometimes is not said in recipes and how we can use creativity to fill that space. I shared with the group, a recipe for "Flaky Pie Crust" from a cookbook my friend @windycapp gave me that always makes me smile: "Best of flour, butter, salt water. Take as much flour as you need, dry it before the fire, and sift it, then mix it with water to form a stiff paste. Roll it out one way (from you), put on it small bits of butter, roll the sides together, and roll in the butter. Repeat this three times, and be careful to always roll the same way. If your butter is very salty, do not add any more. " -- Nebraska Pioneer Cookbook Compiled by Kay Graber Let's make all kinds of crusts to wrap and celebrate our food and our loved ones. Cat @legacyacres and I look forward to baking with you again soon. Thank you again @mainegrainalliance @mainegrains @tillerrye . Here's a crust recipe, a starting point: 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of water. #storycookingpie #storycooking

I few months ago I asked my friend's dad if I could watch him harvest his pigs. I have done chickens and growing up in Brazil I remember my grandparents processing the animals they raised and as a family, we used all the parts of the animals. Yesterday I bought one pound of pig's fat at a local shop and rendered in the crock pot on low with 1/4 cup of water for 24 hours. Here the #homemadelard - precious 1/2 cup of fat. And if this was all the fat in the house right now, I would have a hard time using the whole thing to make one pie crust. Old pie crust recipes often called for small amounts of fat. There are so many ways to make a pie crust, but I don't think there's a wrong way. Grab some flour and some fat, a bit of liquid and crust your favorite ingredients. Thank you my long distance baking friends for sharing your ideas, stories and traditions #rethinkingperfect #storycookingpie #storycooking #banhadeporco

#storycookingeggbread to start our Friday. Slow second rise all night in the fridge. Baked straight from the fridge in a hot oven at 400F for 12 minutes for gooey #cinnamonrolls with some #tvorog with smetana on the side . #storycooking

#sourdough I mixed before going to bed, spent the night in the fridge and yesterday morning I did a few #streachandfold before work. First rise happened in the counter room temperature. Then when I came home, I shaped and place in the fridge for a cold second rise. I baked before going to bed. #kitchenrhythm 150g fed and bubb starter, 350g whey (leftover from making Greek yogurt), 450g flour, 10g salt. If you would like a sourdough starter let me know. #wildyeast #butterandhoney #paocaseiro #fermentacaonatural #homemadebread

Hello #mainewinter #mainelife #freezingrain #storycooking #maine #chuvacongelante

One of my favorite things-- homemade #milkkefir from #kefirgrains . They are part of our quotidian. Just add milk to them, wait 24 to 48 hrs, strain. Store them covered with some milk in the fridge when you are not fermenting. They can be dried for a longer pause. I make salad dressing, blend with fruits, use in recipes that call for buttermilk and yogurt if I don't have any and in my baking. I got these grains during @fromscratchclub food swap many many years ago. They have moved with us overseas and back and gone to live in many homes. #fermenteverything #storycooking #

#sourdoughpiecrust today is Barley Whole Wheat #tartshells filled with #docedeleite topped with honeycrisp apples sauted in butter. Pies in all shapes and sizes. #storycookingpie #storycooking

Thankful our family worked together on mulching before the snow and I appreciate the work the worms have been doing too #storycooking #vermicompost #worms #storycookinggarden

#wholegrainpiecrust We have been in a great relationship with whole grains for a while. We got a new cookbook, we post about it on social media and our kids like the taste . Sometimes we quietly leave whole grain chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen at work, but here comes the big food Holiday. Are we going to bring whole grain crust to the party? We hope so. @legacyacres and I are looking forward to baking with you. Link in the profile to register for the pie workshop with @mainegrainalliance at @tillerrye Nov 17. Some pictures of this one in the highlights. #storycookingpie #piecrust #blueberrycranberry #pie #storycooking #mainefood #flourambassador #blueberrypie #mainething
