Chicken Pot Pie to keep you warm...

Hi folks,

In November, the kitchener's met again and we created many chicken pot pies. Grace had great tips for making the flakiest pastry (don't knead it for too long!), and we cooked up some great tasting pies.

In December, we are just going to meet once, as it is such a busy month (and one very focused on food): on December 16th, we're going to have a baking session (6:30pm at the CRC). Feel free to come with some of your favourite baking to swap (be sure to bring the recipe!), and I'll also bring the ingredients for gingerbread so we can make some together.
