Ghoulish Stuffed Pastry & Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Fall is synonymous with pumpkins, spice, harvest, and ghoulish family fun. In this interactive, real-time cook-along, participants will create a playful and delicious Halloween-themed meal from scratch using the instructor’s personal recipes.

We’ll start by preparing a savory, seasoned meat filling, then use it to stuff and shape puff pastry into fun, ghoulish coils (intestines) before baking to golden perfection. To complete the experience, you’ll make a cranberry-based dipping sauce for a spooky, and tasty, finishing touch.

End on a sweet note as we bake pumpkin-spice chocolate chip muffins—a cozy fall favorite that perfectly balances the savory side of the menu. Perfect for a night full of fun costume parties, trick-or-treating, or spooky get-togethers!

The registration fee covers immediate family members living in the same household only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.

The week of class, you will receive an email with an ingredient and supply list, prep packet, and Zoom link. A few days after the class, you will receive an additional email with the recipes used during the session.

Tess Georgakopoulos

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.
