Event Information
Cooking Class: Kitchen Basics / Creating a Pan Sauce Location: Virtual - assigned links

Thursday, October 15, 2020 @ 6pm CDT via Zoom

Description:

Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make a basic pan sauce while walking us through his kitchen to shine some light on how a chef looks at their equipment as the means to achieve specific results. This is a great opportunity to ask questions. The menu will center around pan sauces - any protein is fair game. We'll begin with searing the protein, and continue with sautéing any aromatics, before we discuss deglazing the pan, and building the body of the sauce prior to reducing it to concentrate flavors and achieve a desired texture. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.

What You'll Need:

  • - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
