Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sauces class:

We will explore all the different ways to create flavorful sauces for different types of food, from classic “mother” sauces and pan sauces to vegetable and herb purées.

MENU:

  • Sauces for Vegetables (vinaigrette variations + beurre blanc)
  • Sauces for Meat (pan gravies and reductions)
  • Standalone Sauces (vegetable and herb sauces: red pepper coulis + fresh green herb sauce)

Important:

  • Please reach out to CourseHorse for any dietary restrictions.
  • Make sure to ring the outside buzzer, even if the front door is open, so we know you are arriving!
School Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: If you are registered for a “VIRTUAL” class, you can disregard the information below.

FOR NYC CLASSES:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.

Classes are not refundable.

For Culinary Boot Camps:

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time.

  • Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or
  • Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!

    The Chef knew everything about cooking and knew how to teach it. He created a relaxed atmosphere and treated everyone well. I learned a lot about ingredients for sauces and which ones work well with others, as well as some nifty tricks and tips about cooking. I definitely plan to make these sauces at home. And, so important, I had a lot of fun. Completely worth the price of admission.

    Chef /instructor is awesome. His personality motivates and makes the class exciting and fun. He teaches you so many good / professional tricks and you don’t feel the time passing by. I learnt a lot from him and enjoyed the meal he cooked . I explored sauces that I normally would not even try. Loved the experience and looking forward for more classes.

    This was my first class, and it was very well presented, executed, and the gentleness of the "teaching" made for a very gentle and enriching experience. I look forward to the next class and hope to have much the same experience. Michael Breaux
