This sauce making class offers a good introduction to the French mother sauces as elaborated by chef Auguste Escoffier. Traditional French cooking has always been about the sauce and stock. A whole kitchen station was dedicated just to this task. This is a fundamentals class and will prepare you to take your saucesย to the next level.
In this class, you will prepare sauces that can accompany meat, poultry, fish, & vegetable dishes.
In this French sauce making class, the sauces are the stars. We will prepare simple meat, fish and vegetable dishes to accompany our sauces so that you will be able to taste your sauces. Learnย to make a stock – the essential base for any good sauce. We will also teach you how to clarify butter as well as variations of sauces to enlarge your sauce-making library. In total, you will make at least 5 sauces in class with the assistance of your chef.
At the end of your sauce-making efforts you will get to taste your sauces with a buffet-style light meal!
Of course, as usual, everything will be fresh and in-season, so the accompanying recipes will vary based on what is available.
Some examples of what you’ll make in class (based on season and availability):
Chicken or fish veloutรฉ
Sauce au Poivre
Clarified Butter
Beurre Blanc
“Aise” Sauces (ie mayonnaise, Hollandaise, etc.)
For timing, some parts of the preparations may be done in advance by your chef.
