Fillings of fruit, berries, sweet or tart, custards or creams, dressed with sugar and spices, wrapped in a flaky or savory crust, and baked to perfection. Pie is the “crème de la crème” of a holiday meal or visit to grandma’s house. Register for this Pie Making Master Class and learn to make the pies that create core memories for all who have the privilege of having a slice. The ins-and-outs of this culinary art form are within reach!
The class will include a bake-along option for two different pies, through which participants will learn two methods for making a wonderfully flaky shortcut crust. The class will include tips for success in pie making, what makes a pie a pie, a tart a tart, and a galette a galette, how to prevent a mile-high meringue from weeping, and so much more! Pie options for the class include: apple cheddar, cherry, chocolate pecan, chocolate cream, lemon meringue, pumpkin, and sour cream raisin. Two of these will be selected for the bake-along portion of the class, and two will be selected for the demonstration portion.
Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep and an all-inclusive recipe packet after the class. Note: One registration fee for this class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.
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 stove-top 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!
