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 luscious and billowy soft Stuffed Steamed Buns. Join Tess for one of her
newest classes where she will guide you in the step-by-step process of creating two types of Dim Sum Stuffed
Steamed Buns with homemade dough that will take you to culinary heights you never new you could reach.
Two fillings will be made for the buns. One will be a gooey Chinese BBQ Chicken filling, and the other will be a
savory vegetarian filling.
Make lasting memories in your kitchen if you decide to have your children, your spouse or your partner join you!
Children absolutely love getting involved in the kitchen and will enjoy creating these dishes with you as well.
Have your questions answered by the instructor and interact with other participants as you cook-along. While
cooking-along is loads of fun, it is optional.
This class will take place on Zoom, free on-line software. Participants will receive instructions on how to access
the class prior to it starting.
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 recipes in PDF format. NOTE: The Instructors
recipes are copyrighted and are only shared with those that register for this class.
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!
Equipment: A bamboo steamer is a “nice to have”, but not necessary.

Instructor biography: 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 one's own hands and creativity was and continues to be an expression of love in her home. 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. As an accomplished cook and baker and always working towards expanding her culinary repertoire, Tess enjoys experimenting in her test kitchen daily creating new recipes, creative culinary techniques and building “Gold Standard” culinary experiences for communities across Minnesota and beyond. Tess is proficient and experienced in creating cook-along experiences and curriculum for conventional cooking, baking, pressure-cooking, air frying, pizza making, Mediterranean Cooking, and meal preparation as well. More recently, she has expanded 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, and Oklahoma, having worked with just over 5000 participants over the years. 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, all while having fun and creating memories to last a lifetime. Her motto, eloquently put, is to 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.
