Valentine’s Day is celebrated with sweets and chocolates gifted as an expression of love. Learn to make two dreamy sweets to share on Valentine’s Day -- a decadent French pastry, known as an eclair, filled with pastry cream and covered in chocolate ganache, and a rich yeasted dessert known as paczki (Polish doughnuts) filled with preserves or pastry cream. The steps for each will be simplified so that any home cook will be able to create professional-looking and -tasting desserts for Valentine’s Day, including making the choux pastry (pâte à choux), the sweet vanilla pastry cream filling, the ganache, and the wonderfully rich paczki dough. Both desserts will make for a very special and memorable Valentine’s Day!
Equipment Needs: A stand mixer is highly recommended, as it may be difficult to keep up with the kneading of the dough, especially if making it for the first time. The dough is very rich, and is not your typical yeast dough.
Several days before class, you will receive an email with an ingredient and supply list, prep packet, and Zoom video conferencing link. A few days after the class, you will receive an email with the recipes used during the class.
The registration fee covers immediate family members living in the same household only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.
Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking since she was roughly six years old -- well over forty years. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity, was, and continues to be, an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home-cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. She has recently started writing her first cookbook, and has a food blog in the works.
