The Golden Crust

French American Farmstead Life Awaits Me…

thegoldencrust — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:33:05 +0000

Well, I am off to Washington State to live the farmstead lifestyle at The Monteillet Fromagerie. Pie creations will be made at the outdoor farm dinners this warm summer. Cheese creations will accompany these pie creations. The pie will hopefully be featured soon in a couple of restaurants in the area: Whoop Em Up Hollow Cafe and Jim German Bar.

My focus will be cheese, yet get ready for the next holiday season, where The Golden Crust will return with full force to the Bay Area.

Pastry Delights Celebrate Homestead Cheese

thegoldencrust — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:52:27 +0000

As an aspiring cheese maker living in the urban environment, I have decided to throw the first event of its kind: Homestead Cheese and Pairings. It will be a cheese soiree to remember. What food producer wouldn’t want to use the most local, hand made cheeses in the region? Who wouldn’t want to support the local dairy economy that strives towards sustainability and community living?

This is The Golden Crust’s ultimate vision as well. I am excited to combine the forces of pie and cheese into a beautiful, neighborhood artisan union.

Getting to know my talents as a cheese maker is like stepping into my chemist mind. Just as in baking, science and creativity meet up in a beautiful meditation about food and its relationship to humans.

Everyone is welcome. Be sure to SIGN UP in advance! This is a private event.

A Soiree of tasting: A gathering of minds and palates…

Lizzy Departs For Spain, The Golden Crust Lives On

thegoldencrust — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:18:33 +0000

Well, our dearly beloved Lizzy Myers of The Golden Crust has left for Spain today. She will be there for 6 months. That means, that I, Jessica Sennett, am left in San Francisco with the smashing pie business.

The holiday season served us well. With our production came more inspiration.

Check out our Video Tribute to Lizzy and the Holidays

Soon, I will be collaborating with the fruit preserves company Slow Jams: Jam For The People.

I have also been studying cheese making for the last 3 years. My expertise in dairy combined with Slow Jams’ expertise in preserves will yield a beautiful product: Milk Jam. It is creamy, delicious, and perfect for Puff Pastry Delights!

We will also be making Tarts combining Slow Jam and my homemade cheese. Yum!

Our next collaborative event: The Underground Farmer’s Market on January 28th, at a soon to be announced location in the Mission District.

The Golden Crust’s Pie Menu is in a beautiful, creative transition, yet this baker is always ready to bake whatever your heart desires.

Keep in touch for Valentine’s day. With new crust and new flavors, you’ll definitely be wanting a tart for your little Tart-let.

What a success we had yesterday. It was truly a street party. We sold out of everything, danced on the street, and really rejoiced for three hours straight off of chai and pie. That’s what I call good community lovin’! We’d also like to welcome all the new members of our email list and encourage all of you to keep in touch with us. Collaboration is what we love, so please feel free to contact us (thegoldencrust@gmail.com) with pie and chai inspiration and feedback.

A great man named John who is constructing a Midnight Snack television show made a little video of our operation. Thanks to John for starting us out right! Check it out:

The Beginnings of Chai and Pie
