Tourtière – a French Canadian meat pie – is a classic part of the Christmas Eve réveillon and New Year’s Eve meal in Québec. With lots or regional variations including beef, veal, wild game or even fish, the classic Montreal-style features a blend of pork and beef, mirepoix (finely chopped carrots, celery & onion), potatoes, and a traditional spice blend with hints of nutmeg, cloves and sage.

In this hands-on workshop, Chef Sonya Gammal, a tourtière aficionado with many years of experience will be leading you through her time-tested recipe. You’ll go through all the steps, from the organic flour pastry dough, to the vegetable and spice blend, to your choice of beef & pork or mushroom & lentil filling.

Participants will leave with recipe along with their own 9” tourtiere (4-6 servings) in a decorative window box with baking directions to take home to bake, freeze or gift. There will also be extra tourtières baked in class for everyone to sample.
