French Sauces and Techniques

About this class

This intermediate cooking class at The Chopping Block covers the five classic French mother sauces and how to build them from scratch, including bechamel, veloute, espagnole, hollandaise, and a tomato-based sauce. The instructor explains the science behind emulsification and reduction so you understand why each technique works rather than just following a recipe. Everything you make is served at a group dinner at the end of the session.
