Escape to the Mediterranean with the flavors of Greece and get your “OPPA” on! During this fun-filled virtual cook-along class you will learn the secrets of creating a lavish dish called “Pastitsio”, and a divine Greek dessert called “Galaktoboureko”, both of which are enjoyed by Greek families around the world, especially during holiday celebrations. Pastitsio, pronounced pas-TI-tsi-o, is a delicacy in its own right; it is a culmination of layered Greek pasta, savory spiced meat sauce, and a topping of often “mile high” cheesy béchamel sauce, baked to perfection. Galaktoboureko, is a gourmet dessert made with a thick luscious Greek custard, wrapped in phyllo pastry, and bathed in a dreamy syrup. Greek gourmet at its finest. Cook-along option: Participants are encouraged to cook along with Tess and create the Pastitsio from scratch during the class.
