 Zoom- Instant Pot Cook- Along Classes

Have fun participating in these virtual Instant-pot classes! You can choose from any of the many classes listed below that you would like to participate in.  You will need to have access to Zoom. You will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting.  Two dishes will be made during each class in addition to a side.  Choose one for your cook-along and watch a demonstration of the other or if you have a second Instant Pot on hand and want to make both please do!

Instructor Tess Georgakopoulos has been a cook and community education instructor for over 40 years and has been teaching both in-person and on-line for a number of years, having worked with numerous public-school districts in and around the Twin Cities.

All cook-along classes will be 2 hours long to allow time for prep, cook along, questions and troubleshooting if needed.  Ingredient list will be provided 7-10 days in advance.  Participants may already have a lot of the ingredients on hand.  Make this a family affair. Children love to get involved!
