Description
July is such a glorious time to cook and eat in the Hudson Valley. Tomatoes are bursting with true flavor that comes but once a year, sweet corn is at its truest peak, the cucumbers are crisp and cooling, herbs are abundant and for a few short weeks, cherries take center stage.
Join Tess Kelly for a leisurely French-inspired luncheon celebrating the height of the summer season and the simple pleasures of a table filled with beautiful produce.
Together, we’ll prepare a menu that captures the spirit of a countryside Bastille Day feast:
- Caviar d’Aubergine with Baguette
- Cucumber Salad with Crème Fraîche
- French Potato Salad with Herbs, Dijon & Cornichons
- Savory Tomato, Corn & Comté Galette
- Cherry Clafoutis
Along the way, Tess will share techniques and tips for making the most of summer’s bounty while exploring the flavors and traditions of French home cooking.
Come hungry, leave inspired, and celebrate Bastille Day with an afternoon of good food, good company, and the very best ingredients of the season.
