It's all Greek to me.
That's how many people on traditional Greek dishes that can not do easy to pronounce, to think himself. People like to eat Greek food, but often do not seem to do at home. It seems intimidating.
But do not worry - Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity is here to help.
People in church classes and the flag, students learn to cook authentic Greek recipes and take home to enjoy and share with your loved ones. A new series begins in October, just weeks after immensely popular 44th annual celebration of Greek-American last weekend.
"We have the momentum of the game," said parishioner Kathy Lawrence, who at the inception of the program and take decisive when it was launched last year. So classes are scheduled for October so soon after the big companies in the three-day celebration of the feast of Greek culture and cuisine. People eat wonderful food and "they again want to eat," says Lawrence.
"At the festival we have cooking demonstrations," Lawrence said.
Classes are an elaboration on this issue, with the opportunity to gain practical experience with personalized instruction. Although each class by a teacher who believes a special court to among his specialties are out, more than a dozen other members of the community who serve as assistants to answer questions, offer advice and encouragement.
Donna Titsworth from Oregon attended the class and take Mark Mayo, the students, how to teach prepare dolmathes, stuffed grape leaves.
She signed, he said, "most of the time to learn how to make the delicious Greek cuisine, but also for the wonderful ladies of the church. They are very friendly, helpful and fun to be with!"

Each class begins with a brief introduction to the country, the language and cuisine, as hosts when the jet class proud of their heritage. Irene Kaufman, the students of class dolmathes welcome, Mrs. Titsworth said that in ancient Greece: "A professional chef considered an artist of intellectuals."
And take the series offers three different sessions this fall that are open to all in the community.
On October 7, Olympia Ntakos students how Pastitsio, often called teaching "Greek lasagna." This is a dish with layers of pasta, meat sauce Salsa rich it up and creamy cheese.

Petros and Mary, who taught last spring dolmathes class again to share his experience on 21 October, she and her husband, Andy used to Petros food in Douglas Road, the Mediterranean groceries and foods made from offering family recipes.
Mrs Lawrence said the sending and receiving students appreciate it, "real expert" teachers, the matriarch of the community with decades of experience. These women participants will learn how to do the dishes; The students will have their work home to cook and enjoy.
In dolmathes class, for example, Mrs. Petros students learn vine leaves to choose (fresh or bottled) and their preparation as you mix the filling, and as the leaves and wrap tightly filling - a form of art that requires a little practice , but it was much easier for personalized recommendations. Each participant will receive the class with a pot dolmathes hand and cooking instructions leave.
