Compass, School Age Child Care (prek-5 grade)
Are you looking for something unique and memorable to serve this St. Patrick’s Day or a simple heartwarming meal during the cold days of winter? Do you enjoy the decadence of chocolate for dessert? Whatever the case, you will enjoy a wonderful new spin on the classic meal of Shepherd’s Pie Twice-Baked Stuffed Potatoes, and decadent Chocolate Stout Cake with a wonderful almost “froth-like” frosting for Dessert! Learn to create the instructors’ own delightful version of this decadence using unique ingredients that bring pops of flavor bursting with umami, added nutrition and memorable textures. Whether you choose to make the Shepherd’s Pie version with lamb, or the Cottage Pie version with beef, the end results will be mouthwatering and delicious.
Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow time for shopping. Have your questions answered by the instructor and interact with other participants as you cook-along. While cooking along is loads of fun, it is optional. Participants will also receive a copy of the instructor’s personal recipes in PDF format following the class. This class will take place on Zoom.
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 one’s 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. 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.
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.
