French Summertime Puff Pastry – a Cooking Class with Tess Kelly

Join Tess Kelly for her fresh take on delicious French savory pastry, perfect for summertime entertaining. Instead of the laborious classical puff pastry Tess will make two savory tarts using “rough puff”. This pastry creates a super yummy result without the hours of work. The savory tarts will be served with a summer salad beautifully dressed with a classic mustard vinaigrette. For dessert Tess will make Palmiers using the same rough puff pastry method.

Menu to include:

• Provençal Onion Tart with Olives
• Asparagus & Gruyère Tart
• Summer Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
• Palmiers for dessert

This demonstration class (plus lunch!) is limited to ten 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.
