For some, baking is an honored tradition that brings joy to their life each holiday season. For others, it’s a dreaded time that typically ends in tears and ruined pie crusts. If you’re the latter of those two, why not skip the stress and floury mess?
This holiday season, let Chef Jose Garces and his Executive Pastry Chef Jessica Mogardo handle the baking with their four delicious Seasonal Pies. Back by popular demand after making their debut in 2011, these tasty pies are a perfect way to end a holiday meal and a thoughtful gift for a variety of occasions. Pies are available for pick up at Garces Trading Company (1111 Locust Street, 215-574-1099) or JG Domestic (2929 Arch Street, 215-222-2363).
Autumn and winter pies include: Pumpkin-Gingerbread; Chocolate-Pecan; CCC (Cherry, Cranberry- Cornmeal); and their instant-classic ABC (Apple, Bacon, Caramel). Each pie serves approximately 6 to 8 people and costs $35. Seasonal pies can be pre-ordered for pick-up throughout the holiday season; pre-orders can be placed in person at either of the pickup locations or online. Orders must be placed before 12 noon for next-day pick-up.
