Settle into the season with a cozy, classic French menu designed for cold nights and good company. In this hands-on class, Chef Tess Kelly will guide us through a hearty three-course meal that balances elegance with comfort--perfect both for entertaining as well as everyday cooking.

We’ll begin with Savory Choux, learning the fundamentals of pâte à choux before filling ours with earthy wild mushrooms and finishing with a hit of truffle oil and toasted pumpkin seeds.

For the main course, Tess will share her timeless Chicken Dijon, rich and savory, served alongside mashed potatoes and warm baguette to soak up every bit of sauce.

We’ll end on a sweet note with a rustic yet refined Apple Almond Tarte, highlighting classic French pastry techniques and balanced flavors.

This hands-on workshop is perfect for home cooks looking to deepen their technique, build confidence with French classics, and share a delicious meal in good company.
