Poulet Chausseur + Tarte Tatin with Tess Kelly | Sunday 09.22.24 @ 3pm

We imagine this to be what Julia Child might have made for friends on a brisk and chilly Autumn evening -- a sensible supper using up the last of the garden tomatoes along with a fistful of foraged mushrooms, chicken and herbs simmered up with a glug of wine.

'Chausseur' (which translates to hunter) is a classic French recipe that makes use of whatever game was successfully hunted + any mushrooms found in the forest along the way home.  It's hearty, super rustic and very versatile.

...and since we're surrounded in the Hudson Valley by some of the best apples around, we'll get them all good and caramelized in butter + sugar for a memorably delicious Tarte Tatin.

We'll kick it all off with some simple, yet elegant Shrimp Canapés....and we look forward to having you join us!

Tess Kelly is a chef and founder of Séraphine Workshops. She moved to France in 1986 where she developed her love of French cuisine. She apprenticed under 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 French pastries and French cuisine. 

After working for many years in the restaurant business in New York City, she opened Séraphine Bakery in 2014.  Since then Tess has developed fun, 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 a balanced, seasonal approach to eating. Her love of France and French cuisine runs deep, ever since her teenage years in Paris where it all began.

She currently teaches both private and public workshops in New York, and in France.
