Practice Class! Simple Sauces
September 19, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$10 – $13
Class will be conducted live via Zoom – Registered students will be emailed a link and class handouts on the day of class.Help Art Center East prepare for online programming and enjoy a reduced-price class! We’ll use an online platform to create a hands-on learning experience in the comfort of your own kitchen. Sarah will cover how to make three sauces from scratch – bechamel, chimichurri, and vinaigrette – all while discussing how these versatile sauces can infuse your cooking with new flavors and inspiration. Grab some veggies at the farmers market that morning and you’ll be well on your way for a night or two of quick dinners with the prep you do in class!
Please note: Participants are responsible for all supplies, including a device that is compatible with Zoom and that you can have with you in your workspace (hands-free). See the full equipment and ingredient list below. The class handout and other resources will be shared digitally before class. Bring your questions about cooking, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to give thoughtful feedback – all participants will be expected to fill out an evaluation to help ACE develop other online classes.
