After what has seemed to an endless summer due to a back injury, I am finally getting back into the working groove. Tonight is one of my favorite classes that I offer at Kitchen Kapers-sauces. This is a class that appeals to my usually well-hidden need for an adrenaline rush, 18 or so recipes completed in 2 hours. OK, well we just cover the four basic mother sauces, plus a few others and then I transform them into a bunch of other sauces. It's definitely one of my more info-packed classes.
This is a quick overview in case you ever want to recreate it:
*Bechamel-cheese sauce-Alfredo sauce
*Veloute-tarragon sauce-tetrazini/mushroom sauce
*Roasted Tomato Sauce-vodka sauce-Italian "gravy"
*Mayonnaise-basil aioli-spiced parsley sauce-salad dressing
*Brown and Roasted Chicken Stock (covered, no time to make in 2 hours)
*"Fond" Sauces (from pan brown bits)-orange tarragon sauce-Gorgonzola sauce
*Hot Fudge Sauce (gotta do dessert!)
Yesterday I received two party requests from clients for whom I've work for before, both fun couples. A sit-down formal dinner for six, and a passed appetizer-heavy buffet for twenty to thirty. I guess I need to get those menus going...
