What is it about the French cooking that makes even a simple rustic, dish a thing of wonder? Bouillabaisse began centuries ago as a “fisherman’s stew” and became a classic, the secrets of which Tess Kelly will share in this demonstration class. It begins with the perfect stock which she will explain and from there she’ll guide you through the recipe of this perfect seafood stew. It will be served in the classic way with a baguette topped with Rouille, which she’ll also be making in this class. Rouille is a robust sauce that brings together Mediterranean flavors to complete the authentic Bouillabaisse experience. Following the class we’ll all enjoy a perfect French lunch together, including a sip of wine.
This demonstration class is limited to 10 people.

Tess Kelly is lover and practitioner of French food. She relocated to France in 1986 where she developed her 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 her cooking and baking classes. She teaches both private and public workshops in New York, and in France.
