Sat 8/20/22   6:30-9:00 p.m.

Class Description: 

It’s that final touch that makes all the difference!  Tonight, experienced Chef & Lead Instructor Jill Garcia Schmidt teaches one of our most popular cooking topics – the art of sauce-making!  It's time to gather a group of friends or treat your sweetie to a unique date night.  You'll get in on the cooking fun as you help Chef Jill in small group while learning to make some classic and contemporary sauces.

You'll be introduced to the basic mother sauces: Tomato, Velouté, Bechamel, Espagnole and Hollandaise. Once you know these sauces, you can create endless delicious meals, in a snap. 

You’ll also learn the art of creating “smaller” sauces from each of them by using thickening agents such as roux and adding herbs and spices. Understanding the nuances of these basic sauces will also assist you when ordering from a menu. Who knew? Oh, that’s right….YOU will….and you’ll be darn impressive to your family and friends, too!

Yes, there will be tasting, and you'll leave with all the recipes, too! Kick up your cooking repertoire and have a fun evening stirring things up in our kitchen!
