French Summer Tarts *In-Person*

What better way to celebrate summer than with two classic summer tarts - a Tarte aux Fruits Frais avec Crème Pâtissière and a Tarte au Citron! What to expect…. You will make: a Pâte Sucrée pastry dough to use for both tarts. For the Fruit Tart - a crème pâtissière and a glaze to give the fruit a classic professional shine. For the Tarte au Citron - a lemon curd. At the end of class you will have created two tarts fit for the window of a Parisian Pâtissière!Included in the class is a recipe packet (both printed and .pdf file sent after class) listing tools needed and recipes for items made in class.

Evelyn has been interested in baking and cooking all of her life. Growing up in a military family she was exposed to many cultures and cuisines. However, it was first watching Julia Child on PBS that cemented her love of French cooking. Julia not only offered authentic French recipes but she showed how you could have fun the kitchen - something Evelyn practices to this day! A few decades ago Evelyn decided to take her love of French cooking a step further by attending a week-long cooking school in Arles. That experience was so rewarding she attended a week-long class in Paris where she was introduced to classic French cooking. Now she goes to both Paris and the Provence region to take classes. Her knowledge and her library of recipes are continually expanding with each trip. She has been able to adapt the recipes and learned techniques to the American kitchen and is eager to pass on her knowledge to students of the CCAE - while having fun - OF COURSE!
