Kimberly takes a day off in Chicago and learns pie-making from a pro then heads back to her Nashville Kitchen to put all the techniques into action by making one sweet and one savory pie.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Roll out your pie dough and line the bottom of a standard pie pan. Cut the extra around the rim and discard. Roll out the second pie dough and cut 1/2 inch strips. Place strips on a sheet tray lined with parchment. Wrap the pie pan and strips of dough with plastic and keep refrigerated.
3. In large saucepan melt butter and add in flour until it becomes smooth like a paste. Add cream and chicken stock and whisk. Cook for several minutes until it begins to thicken, like gravy. Add the chicken base and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Add onion, carrots, peas, jalepeno and chicken. Stir and mix well.
4. Pour mixture in the prepared pie pan. Using the strips create a lattice on top. Place in oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool after removing from oven to set.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Roll out pie dough and line a standard pie pan. Cut extra around the rim and discard. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
3. In a small pot melt the margarine. Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk the sugar, eggs, vinegar, vanilla, flour and nuts. Slowly pour the melted margarine a little at a time and mix until well incorporated. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove and let cool before serving.
4. Using a handheld blender whip heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks. Dollop on top of sliced pie. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

1. Combine dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse just to combine the dry ingredients.
2. Add the refrigerated butter and pulse until the mixture is sandy and the butter pieces are no bigger than peas. Add the frozen butter and repeat the last step. Once the mixture is sandy Add 1/2 cup dough water and pulse 3 to 4 times. Dough should still look crumbly. Grab a handful of dough and squeeze it in your fist (make sure food processor is off!) If the dough holds together without crumbling, it is done. If not, add 2 more tablespoons of dough water, pulse 2 to 3 times and test the dough again.
3. When the dough is ready, dump it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough together until it is smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll into balls. Lightly flatten the balls (this is just to save you some time later when you go to roll it out) and wrap in plastic wrap.
4. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 days. You may need to let the dough come to room temperature before you can roll it out. Once the dough has rested, it can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
