A hands-on and delicious cookery workshop for unpaid adult carers. A chance to enjoy a creative activity and develop knowledge and skills.
Classic Sauces
Learn about the sauces that form the foundation of classic European cooking.
Join Chef Derren for a hands on workshop focusing on the preperation of four of the fundamental or “mother” sauces used in European cuisine.
We will prepare the following:
- Béchamel: a white sauce made with milk and a light roux or butter and flour
- Velouté: a lightly colored, smooth sauce made with a roux and clear chicken stock
- Hollandaise: an emulsified sauce made with butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice or vinegar.
- Tomato: a sauce made by reducing tomatoes, sometimes thickened with a roux.
You will learn about the preparation and uses and variations of these sauces, make a delicious lunch and takeaway.
