Vol-au-Vent + Baked Alaska with Tess Kelly | Saturday 10.25.25 @ 4pm

If you've ever seen the 2023 film, The Taste of Things, in which a distinguished gourmand and his skilled chef (played by Juliet Binoche) exquisitely concoct elaborate meals in the French countryside for themselves and foodie friends, then tonight's menu should look deliciously familiar.  The Vol-au-Vent (French for 'windblown' to describe its lightness) is a showstopping puff pastry shell filled with any variety of sweet or savory fillings. For tonight's workshop, we'll make both a meat and seafood version. For dessert, another showstopper in its own right, the Baked Alaska, in which ice cream and cake are encased in toasted meringue.  We've been wanting to make this in a workshop since before Covid, and are so excited it's time has finally come!! On the menu: Watercress Salad with beet + citrus Vol-au-Vent with Shrimp + Vol-au-Vent with Chicken Omelette Norvégienne Pistache (aka Pistachio Baked Alaska)  We hope you can join! Tess Kelly is a chef and founder of Séraphine Workshops.
