Savory & Sweet Tarts with Tess Kelly

Join Tess Kelly, freshly back from teaching a series of cooking classes in her beloved France as she brings her favorite French dishes to our kitchen at HGS Home Chef. In this class Tess will share secrets of The Tart – both savory and sweet. (Spoiler alert, it’s going to be yummy.)

Tess will demonstrate how to make two distinct crusts – pâte brisée and pâte sucrée. As for fillings she will create a savory mushroom and spinach tart and a fruit tart with pastry cream. And as per usual, after the learning we’ll have lunch together!

NOTE: This demonstration class will take place inside our kitchen and is limited to just ten people. All participants must be vaccinated for Covid 19 to attend. Read our Covid 19 protocols below before signing up.

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.
