Pâte Brisée Workshop with Tess Kelly

Pâte Brisée is a rich and classically French pastry dough used to make flakey tart and pie shells. With this one dough you may create both savory and sweet pies and tarts that are as diverse as they are delicious. In this hands-on workshop Tess Kelly will share how this one dough may be used three different ways – a savory quiche, a traditional American pie, and a French Tarte Tatin. All of which we will be eating together.

Menu will include:

• The basics of Pâte Brisée
• Classic French Quiche
• A traditional American Pie using Pâte Brisée
• Tart Tatin

Join Tess in our Hudson Valley-Berkshire kitchen for this special autumn tart class!

This hands-on workshop is limited to 10 people.

About Tess Kelly:

Tess Kelly is a pastry chef and founder of Séraphine Bakery. She relocated to France in 1986 where she developed her love of French cuisine. Tess apprenticed 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 hands-on 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, and we are excited to welcome her to HGS Home Chef in Hillsdale, NY.
