Kitchen Skills Class Series, cont. - Stocks Soups and Sauces

"No one is born a great cook. One learns by doing." - Julia Child

Become your own favorite chef as School of Food equips you with the basics for every great meal no matter where that meal is prepared. Now you can take those skills home - for life.

Join us for just one or all three transformative Tuesdays (October, 9, 16 and 23) and gear up for the holidays (or life) with School of Food and spend some happy hours in the kitchen with a highly-trained chef elevating, or complimenting, your cooking skills. Attend the entire series or register for the individual class(es) that works for you.

Choose from Knife Skills (October 9), Butchery (October 16), Stocks and Sauces (October 23) or get Schooled on all three with 10% off for the entire series purchases. Fast-paced and interactive, this course is perfect for beginners and self-taught cooks who want to take their cookery (n. the practice or skill of preparing and cooking food) to the next level. In this three-part adventure, you’ll not only be able to whip up some essentials like soups, stocks, and sauces, you’ll gain some valuable knife (and life) lessons.

We’ll cube and strip and discover exactly what small or large dice or julienne really means in a recipe. You’ll be able to tackle that chicken or beef like a pro with your newfound butchery skills with just the right grip. Of course, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor (pun intended) and dine with your classmates. Tuesday dinner. Done.

Week 1: ( Tuesday, October 9, 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM) KNIFE SKILLS (This class is no longer available for purchase.)

Week 2:(Tuesday, October 16, 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM) BUTCHERY (This class is available for purchase in a separate listing.)

Week 3:(Tuesday, October 23, 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM) STOCKS, SOUPS AND SAUCES. (This class is available for purchase here.)

Stocks and sauces are what distinguish the home cooked from the restaurant meal – and they can make or break your dish. In fact, stocks and sauces form the base flavor component for many dishes, making it an essential kitchen skill, not to mention the hallmark of a great chef. Learn the fundamentals behind creating each type of classic stock, while preparing some classic soups – then master the “mother” sauces, from Tomato to Bechamel. By the end of class, you’ll have the skills to elevate the flavor profile of any dish you make!
