Dim Sum Dumplings


Adult Enrichment / Taste / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment 24-25

Dim Sum refers to a Chinese or Cantonese meal consisting of numerous small appetizers or finger foods traditionally enjoyed in restaurants. It is considered a shared dining and social experience that can last for hours. 

Dim Sum often includes some sort of dumpling, and one of the most popular dumpling options is Pot Stickers!  Join Tess for one of her newest classes as she guides you through the step-by-step process of creating the most wonderful pot stickers with homemade wrappers that will take you to culinary heights you never knew you could reach. 

A wonderful dipping sauce will also be created! You will have the option of making a pork-based filling or a chicken-based filling. You will also have the option of learning to make homemade wrappers, but of course store bought can be used as well. Freezing tips will also be shared. 

The experience will possibly make store bought pot stickers a thing of the past! Have your questions answered by the instructor, and interact with other participants as you cook-along with Tess to create some of the most wonderful Dim Sum you have ever tasted.  

NOTE: The instructor’s recipes are copyrighted and are only shared those that register for this class.


This class will take place on Zoom, free online software. Participants will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting. Please have your email listed in your online account. Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep. Participants will also receive a copy of the instructor’s personal recipe in PDF format. As an added bonus, the instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants of her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an invite to the groups although joining is optional. Come join the fun!

If children are participating, adult supervision is required.

Tess Georgakopoulos

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 on-line 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, Oklahoma, and Michigan! 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 new 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.
