Class Description:
Great sauces and stocks are the backbone of exceptional cooking. Understanding the art of sauce-making empowers you to elevate your culinary creations, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of dishes. In this class, you will join our longtime CCKC instructor, Executive Chef Gary Hild, for a great culinary education on how to create the exceptional homemade stocks and sauces that are a core element of any chef’s repertoire. Let’s start with the basics: a rich and velvety basic brown sauce. Explore the nuanced flavors derived from a carefully crafted combination of browned beef, aromatic vegetables, and herbs. Then we’ll move onto chicken stock. Both stocks form the core of many Italian sauces and dishes. Once we’ve got the bases covered, we’ll get hands-on as we explore a classic Marinara Sauce, mastering the balance of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs that will elevate any pasta dish. We will build on what we’ve learned as we transition to four classic sauces: a silky, decadent Carbonara; a rich and savory Bolognese; a creamy Alfredo; and a vibrant and aromatic Pesto Sauce. Chef Gary will cap off the class with that classic Italian pasta dish, Linguini with Italian Sausage in Gorgonzola Sauce. Understanding the art of stocks and sauces empowers you to elevate your culinary creations, providing a solid foundation for a wide range of dishes. Magnifico!
