Pastitiso, Greek Gourmet Hot Dish & Garlic Roll Bliss!

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 Greek Hot Dish called “Pastitsio”, and a divine gourmet garlic rolls, 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, fit for royalty. It is a culmination of layered Greek pasta, savory spiced meat sauce, and a luxurious topping of often “mile high” cheesy béchamel sauce, baked to perfection. The soft, buttery, elegantly shaped garlic bread rolls bursting with flavor will round
out a perfect the meal. Tess will also share how to create her Greek Salad dressing for all who wish to include a classic, crisp Greek Salad. Greek gourmet at its finest.Equipment Needs: A stand mixer is highly recommended for the garlic rolls.

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! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through community education for a number of years having worked with numerous public school districts in and around the Twin Cities. Tess has recently started writing her first cookbook, and her food blog is also in the works! Some of her creations can be seen on her Facebook page @dishitupgood https://www.facebook.com/dishitupgood/or on her Instagram Feed: Dish it up Good.
