Escape to the Mediterranean with the flavors of Greece and get your “OPPA” on! During this fun-filled virtual cook-along class you will learn the secrets of creating a lavish dish called “Pastitsio”, and a divine Greek dessert called “Galaktoboureko”, both of which are enjoyed by Greek families around the world, especially during holiday celebrations. Pastitsio, pronounced pas-TI-tsi-o, is a delicacy in its own right; it is a culmination of layered Greek pasta, savory spiced meat sauce, and a topping of often “mile high” cheesy béchamel sauce, baked to perfection. Galaktoboureko, is a gourmet dessert made with a thick luscious Greek custard, wrapped in phyllo pastry, and bathed in a dreamy syrup. Greek gourmet at its finest. Cook-along option: Participants are encouraged to cook along with Tess and create the Pastitsio from scratch during the class. Demonstration: Tess will be demonstrating the creation of the Galaktoboureko. Both dishes require a lot of work and prep, and both require baking in the oven; too much for participants to take on for such a class. Both recipes however will be included in the packet. Tess’ step-by-step cooking instruction is unique and flexible as she is able to support people at all levels of cooking experience to learn with each step, and each little bit of advice and instruction. Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep. A professionally made PDF packet of the instructor’s personal recipes from this class will also be received. Note: The instructor’s recipes are copyrighted and are only shared with those who register for this class. This class will take place on Zoom, free on-line software. Participants will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting. As an added bonus, the instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants of her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an invite to the groups although joining is optional. Come join the fun! Note: One registration fee for this online virtual interactive class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home ONLY. If children are participating, adult supervision is required. . If friends, adult children, or extended family members are gathering for a fun night together, each household must register separately even if participating together.
Eligible UCare members may receive up to a $15 discount on many Community Education classes when registering over the phone. Contact Community Education for further information.
Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking for well over 40 years since she was roughly 6 years old. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using ones senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was also a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form on the weekends as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with ones own hands and creativity was, and continues to be an expression of love in her home.
As a skilled home cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. Sweet, savory, or doughy, she enjoys experimenting and creating in the kitchen daily. Pressure-cooking with a stovetop cooker has been a part of her culinary repertoire for over 25 years. Tess is creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones using the Instant Pot, which is taking her pressure-cooking to another level!
