Back to Basics

Knife Skills

Make cooking much easier – and safer – when you learn about choosing, holding, sharpening and storing your knife. We’ll chop, dice, mince, julienne, and chiffonade our way around vegetables, fruits, and herbs. And, no worries about leaving hungry – we’ll have plenty to taste throughout the evening – while learning "mise en place."

Sauces

There are 5 ‘mother’ sauces: Veloute, Bechamel, esponole (sauce brown), hollandaise, tomato; all the basis for many other sauces. From these sauces, there are endless variations, so there’s no limit to the sauce making possibilities.

Bread: The basic ‘boulle’

There is nothing like the smell of fresh bread baking or the taste of warm bread as you pull it apart and the steam releases. We’ll introduce you to the versatile artisan bread that can be used in so many different ways.

Anyone Can Grill
