The Art of Sauces: Week 6: Contemporary Sauces

Join Chef Douglas J. Weber, CEC, an honors graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, for a series of courses introducing you to the world of sauces. Weber leads students through a classic approach to sauce making, starting with the five classic French “mother sauces” which form the basis of hundreds of variations, and building from there with a hands-on approach. You’ll practice thickening methods including roux, slurries, purees, emulsions, and reductions.

We kick off week six of The Art of Sauces. After mastering the mother sauces, we will explore contemporary sauces. These include salsas, coulis, hot sauce, barbecue sauce, peanut sauce, and chimichurri sauce. We will assemble a tasting buffet using chicken to dip into the various sauces and celebrate the end of the series with an awesome dessert. Includes wine service.

We recommend you register for the complete series, but it’s not required.
