NEW CLASS!!!
Dim Sum Shu Mai Drum Dumplings & Wontons!
Full Class Description: No need to look any further for restaurant quality Dim Sum than your own kitchen! Dim Sum, loosely translated to “touch the heart”, refers to a Chinese or Cantonese meal consisting of numerous small appetizers or finger foods traditionally enjoyed in restaurants. A dim sum meal therefore is considered a shared dining, social experience that can last for hours. Dim Sum meals often include some sort of dumpling, and two of the most popular dumpling options are open faced drum dumplings called “Shu Mai” and other dumplings called “Wontons”. Join Chef Tess for one of her newest classes where she will guide you in the step-by-step process of creating these delightful restaurant quality Dim Sum dumplings with two different meat and veggie fillings, and store bought wrappers. Learn to shape, fill and cook these tender, light, fluttery bites of deliciousness in your own home for a memorable dim sum get together. Serving, freezing and reheating tips will also be shared. 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 who 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. Note: One registration fee for this on-line virtual interactive class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home ONLY. If children are participating, adult supervision is required. If friends, adult children, or extended family members are gathering for a fun night together, EACH household must register SEPARATELY even if participating together.
• Classes are either Cook-Along, or a combination of Demonstration and Cook-Along but cooking along is always optional! Recipe packets are for the exclusive use of those that have REGISTERED and are not to be shared.
- Ingredient list / station prep handouts will be provided to the districts roughly 5 days in advance of the class and emailed out to those registered prior to class, so people have time to purchase needed ingredients and prepare their cooking stations.
- A Recipe Packet will be provided to the registered participants AFTER the class has been completed via email.

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.
