Participants may find themselves involuntarily dancing The ZORBA during this one-of-a-kind cook-along experience with Chef Tess. Dive into the world of creating two scrumptious traditional Greek Phyllo pastries, Baklava and Spanakopita that have been known to awaken taste buds and the “inner Greek”. Baklava is a Traditional Greek layered dessert pastry made with phyllo, chopped nuts and other secret ingredients. They are baked to golden perfection and bathed in dreamy honey-kissed syrup. Spanakopita, on the other hand, is a Greek savory pastry, consisting of a savory filling made of spinach, cheese, herbs and other secret ingredients that is enrobed in delicate sheets of phyllo pastry. Talk about mouthwatering goodness!

The word “Mezze” refers to what we all know as finger foods and dips. Many Mediterranean meals consist of a variety of “mezze” items that come together creating the most wonderful flavors, tastes and textures.

The mezze-style charcuterie board will include four delicious scratch-made dips, warm-spiced, bright Greek meatballs, and handmade pita bread. Mezze boards / platters will be rounded out with an array of fresh and pickled vegetables, olives, fruit and nuts for a vibrant crowd—pleasing spread! The board, platter, or table becomes the canvas upon which we create an edible work of art! Cook-Along mezze items: Silky whipped feta & tzatziki dips, Greek Meatballs, homemade pita bread Mezze items to be demonstrated: Muhamarra (a smoky red pepper dip), Greek hummus and time permitting, some crispy, Greek sesame bread sticks.
