It’s hard to imagine a sweet treat more delicate, beautiful or delicious than French macarons. In this on-line Zoom class led by pastry chef Tess Kelly, you’ll learn the secrets of making these iconic confections. You may cook along with Tess during the class, or simply watch and take notes to create your own magic later. It’s up to you!
The flavor spectrum of French macrons can be endless, but we’ll focus on a classic vanilla macaron. You’ll receive recipes for three other flavors: Chocolate, Pistachio and Raspberry-Rose. We know that once you master the basic technique you’ll be off and running to explore a whole world of sumptuous flavor. How sweet is that?
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.
Important information: As soon as you are registered for this class you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link to recipes as well as a link to Zoom to join us at the scheduled time. If you choose to be hands-on with us (and we hope you do!) the class prep instructions and equipment you will need will be in the recipes. You may want an extra pair of hands if you are cooking along with us, so feel free to have a friend or family member work as your sous chef in your own kitchen. If you prefer to sit back and watch the class and take notes, that’s fine too! In either case we suggest printing up the recipe(s) well in advance of the class.
