We will also be offering free colored hair spray for anyone interested (mostly children) and I need some volunteers to help with that and to help man the booth. Time slots available are:

Noon - 2:00 pm

Pie Making 101 with Boyd McKoane

I have been baking pies for roughly 30 years. It all started with my Grandmother, Elsie Johnston, née Bergstrom, who made me Apple and Cherry pies throughout my early childhood from her home in Geneva, Illinois. In New Jersey, where I moved in 1973, I lost touch with pie making until I became acquainted with my now best friend, Louis Rigassio, who is currently the executive chef at the Essex County

Country Club. Back in the early '80's Louis introduced me to The Pie &

Pastry Bible by Rose Levy Barenbaum.

So, that's my background. To those who are interested, I will be in the Church kitchen Saturday morning. So if you want to learn how bake a great pie, email me at jbmckoane@gmail.com and I'll give you the details so that you can come along.
