A Marseille-style cooking class, with Tess Kelly
About this Event

Travel to the South of France and the ancient port city of Marseille without leaving the Hudson Valley or Berkshires in Tess Kelly’s three-course cooking class featuring a Marseille-style knife and fork shrimp stew. This dish will be joined by a savory starter plus dessert to create the perfect summer repast you’ll want to repeat for lunch or dinner throughout the warm summer months.


Class menu will include:
  • Warm Camembert with Mushroom Fricassée
  • Marseillaise Shrimp Stew with toasted Baguette topped with Rouille.
  • Seasonal Fruit tarte with Pastry Cream

This demonstration class (plus lunch) 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.
