Discover the fundamental mother sauces of French cuisine in this four-course class.

In this hands-on class with Chef Mike, you'll master four French mother sauces paired perfectly with traditional dishes. Chef Mike will begin with a creamy and tangy hollandaise over grilled asparagus and lemon. Next, you'll make an irresistible velouté to use with a crisp chicken pie, followed by a decadent béchamel to use in triple-cheese macaroni and cheese with toasted panko. For your last mother sauce, you'll learn to prepare a thick tomato sauce served with crispy zucchini fries.

Chef Mike’s class was so engaging and practical. I can now use a chef's knife efficiently (and elegantly!), encouraging me to cook fresh meals. I highly recommend the class for anyone who considers all the chopping and cutting in meal prep as laborious. As to Chef Mike, he's not only an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher but also a very kind individual.

We had a great time with Chef Mike! We learned a lot about new to us ingredients and techniques, and shared a great meal with our classmates with enough left over for everyone to take a generous box home.
