DISCOVER THE FOUNDATIONS OF FRENCH SAUCES
→ Explore the essential techniques behind classic French sauces, from cold and warm emulsions to roux-based sauces.
→ Learn the fundamentals of a classic mayonnaise, traditional velouté, and buttery hollandaise. Once we’ve covered the techniques, we’ll explore some of the sauces derived from these foundations. A typical workshop includes upwards of 10 sauces, including Béarnaise and Sauce Suprême.
→ Along the way, we’ll discuss common mistakes and how to avoid or correct them without starting over—including how to rescue a broken sauce.
→ Finish the workshop with a light tasting menu lunch featuring the sauces and accompaniments created during the morning, with fresh baguette and a complimentary glass of local wine.
