Basic Skills I-II-III at The International Culinary Center CA March 5, 2011

Offered only as an entire series! This series will help you to be more confident in the kitchen, develop your palate and help create a new sense of cooking enjoyment. We will cover knife skills, soups, stocks, sauces and methods of cookery including: sauté, braising, roasting, grilling, frying, and en croute. You’ll learn the fundamentals of herbs and spices, complex sauces, garnishing, plate presentation, and side dishes. Each class will cover necessary knife skills, each building on the last, and will also touch on dessert each day. Your tuition includes the hands-on production of the dishes to enjoy in a family style buffet at the end of each class, the recipes to take home and replicate with loved ones, and a new friend to call on to ask for cooking advice. These classes are not a prerequisite for any of our other hands-on recreation classes; we hope to see you in the kitchen soon!
