Baklava & Spanokopita! Sweet & Savory Mouthwatering Greek Phyllo Pastries
Participants may find themselves involuntarily dancing The ZORBA during this one-of-a-kind cook-along experience with Chef Tess. Dive into the world of creating two scrumptious traditional Greek Phyllo pastries, Baklava and Spanakopita that have been known to awaken taste buds and the “inner Greek”. Baklava is a Traditional Greek layered dessert pastry made with phyllo, chopped nuts and other secret ingredients. They are baked to golden perfection and bathed in dreamy honey-kissed syrup. Spanakopita, on the other hand, is a Greek savory pastry, consisting of a savory filling made of spinach, cheese, herbs and other secret ingredients that is enrobed in delicate sheets of phyllo pastry. Talk about mouthwatering goodness! Tess grew up in a Greek home where Baklava and Spanakopita were made and enjoyed throughout the year, but especially for any and every holiday. She too joined in the tradition of creating these delicate pastries ever since she was roughly 6 years old. Tess now combines her decades of knowledge, secret ingredients and techniques full of tradition, sharing them with participants of this virtual cook-along class only. Join Tess as she guides you through the process of creating one of her versions of Baklava she calls ‘Baklava Rolls’ and through the process of creating her spanakopita triangles. Regardless of level of skill working with phyllo, participants will leave with two show-stopping recipes and the confidence to serve them at any gathering. BUT Shhhhh!!!!! Remember, Tess is only making her SECRET recipes available to those who REGISTER for this class. They will be asked keep these secrets SECRET as Tess has done so for over 50 years!
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.
