Warm, delicious, soothing, satisfying soups are such a welcome treat for dinner any time of year. All the stresses of the day seem to melt away with the smell of freshly made soup that brings smiles to the entire family. Have some fun participating in this virtual cook-along class; expand your family’s soup rotation and your culinary repertoire as you learn to create two wonderful soups in addition to Homemade Baguettes! Choose one soup for your cook-along, and watch a demonstration of the other or choose to make both. They will pair perfectly with the amazing Homemade Baguettes you will be making from scratch! No Instant Pot®? No problem! The instructor will be making one soup in the Instant Pot®, and the other on the stovetop using a soup pot. Tess will provide step-by-step guidance and instruction for both cooking options for each of the soups so everyone will be able to cook-along using whatever appliance and cooking tools/equipment you choose. Experience how flavors are enhanced and infused by making these recipes in your Instant Pot® or enjoy the simple soothing pleasures of making soups the classical way. On the menu: Tess's copycat version of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, her version of Italian Wedding Meatball Soup, and her very own version of quick Homemade Baguettes. These original no-fail recipes created by your instructor will become family favorites guaranteed. Make it a date night or family night as you create lasting memories in your kitchen! Have your questions answered by Tess, interact with others, and increase your confidence in the kitchen with each skill that is learned, and each little bit of advice and instruction that is shared. While cooking-along is loads of fun, and highly recommended, it is optional. You will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow with enough time for shopping and preparation. A professionally made PDF packet of Tess's personal recipes is provided.

Tess Georgakopoulos

Instructor

Tess Georgakopoulos, also known as “Chef Tess—Culinary Artist”, has been cooking and baking for well over 45 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 an accomplished 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 is proficient and experienced in creating classes and curriculum for conventional cooking, baking, pressure cooking, air frying, pizza making, Mediterranean Cooking, and meal preparation as well. More recently, she is expanding her creativity and experience in the creation of Cooking Master Classes! A Culinary Artist indeed! She has been teaching both in-person and online cooking classes through community education for a number of years, and is currently working with almost 60 public school districts in and around the Twin Cities, in many corners of Minnesota, in addition to school districts in Wisconsin, Missouri, New York, and Oklahoma! Through her teaching, Tess has helped people of all skill levels increase their confidence and expand their skills in the kitchen reaching heights of their own personal creativity that they never knew existed! Always working towards expanding her culinary repertoire, Tess enjoys spending much of her free time in her test kitchen creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones as she combines traditional and new cooking methods, equipment, appliances, and technology in the creation of her recipes that help make “dishing” delicious and simple. 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, “Dish it up Good”, https://www.facebook.com/dishitupgood/ or on her Instagram Feed.
