Banh Mi, From Baguette to Bite

Bahn mi is Vietnam's iconic sandwich; a delicious fusion of French and Vietnamese culinary traditions. Crisp baguettes are filled with savory meats, fresh and pickled vegetables, herbs, bold spreads, and seasonings to create a sandwich that is both vibrant and satisfying. In this cook-along adventure, you will learn to both craft banh mi from the ground up, baking bakery style baguettes, marinating and cooking char siu chicken, quick-pickling of vegetables, and mixing a zesty mayo spread before assembling everything into a flavor packed creation. Prefer to keep it simple? Bring your favorite bakery baguette and focus on filling and assembly. Either way, you will leave inspired and ready to recreate gourmet bahn at home.

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 additional 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.
