French Macarons with Tess Kelly

It’s hard to imagine a sweet treat more delicate, beautiful, or delicious than French macarons. In this demonstration class led by Tess Kelly, you’ll learn the secrets of making these iconic confections. The flavor spectrum of French macrons can be endless, but we’ll focus on three classics – vanilla, pistachio, and raspberry rose.

Tess will also show us how to make Grand Macarons, larger in size, and in this case, filled with buttercream and fresh fruit to create a beautiful dessert. We know that once you master the basic technique, you’ll be off and running to explore the world of macarons with an endless array of sumptuous flavor. How sweet is that?

This demonstration class (plus munching) is limited to 10 people.

About Tess Kelly:

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.
