Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this culinary class:

There are certain basic foundations that every home cook should have in his or her repertoire; skills, techniques and recipes you’ll turn to again and again, whether to serve family and friends, to make on Sunday for meals throughout the week, or to cook in no time flat on a busy weeknight. This three-day immersive boot camp focuses on classic cooking techniques designed to empower you to be a better cook and baker.

Monday, July 30
Knife Skills, Basic Cooking Equipment, Stock, Meat Protein, Chicken Butchery, Searing, Sautéing, Braising, and Roasting, and Quick Sauces

Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking. You will learn how to slice, dice, chop, and much more in the safest and most efficient manner. In addition to knife skills, pairing the right tool with the right technique makes any job easier. Once you master basic cooking techniques like roasting, sautéing, and steaming, you can cook perfect dishes every time. And pairing the right tool with the right technique makes any job easier. Rather than recipes, this class focuses on the techniques themselves, which you will learn and then apply. 

On the menu: Knife Skills, Chicken Stock, Seared Scallops with Pan Sauce, Sautéed Whitefish with Tarragon Parsley Chimichurri, Braised Short Ribs with Roasted Vegetable Sauce, and Roasted Whole Chicken with Carrot Top Pesto
