Tess Kelly is back with a new class sharing her passion for French food. The menu of this demonstration class features many of the things we adore about this delectable cuisine – savory and sweet pastry, smooth sauces, herbs and chocolate. You’ll savor the balance of flavors in this class, and we hope it inspires you to make this three-course menu at home for friends and family.

1. Puff Pastry Tarte with Asparagus & Comté
2. Roast Chicken Breast in a Tarragon Cream Sauce & Caramelized Endive.
3. French Lentils with Spinach
4. Profiteroles with Vanilla Ice Cream & Chocolate Sauce

This demonstration class is limited to 10 people.

Tess Kelly is a lover and practitioner of French food. She relocated to France in 1986 where she developed this passion while learning under Madame Bernard, the chef of the pâtisserie she lived above in Paris. Madame Bernard took her under her wing and generously shared the art and love of baking authentic French pastries and French cuisine. After working for several years in the restaurant business in New York City, Tess opened Séraphine Bakery in 2014.

Since that time, Tess has developed workshops for children and adults. Her desire to feed people and share the art of preparing food is the basis of all of her cooking and baking classes. She teaches both private and public workshops in New York, and in France.
