Our Absolute Beginners classes are all about building skills to cook with confidence - and pan sauces are a great place to start!
In this Absolute Beginners class, Chef Matt Stansbury will cover knife skills and then describe and demonstrate the technique for creating a pan sauce. He will break down the method and tools that you need: choosing the right pan, building fond, adding liquids (stock, wine, spirits, cream) and managing heat. Each guest will cook a protein and and sauce. While the recipes differ, the fundamental skills are the same, and you'll use those skills at home to create delicious pan sauces on your own.
Chef Matthew Stansbury's resume is long and includes baking, savory dishes and sushi making. While he's a seasoned culinarian, his love of Japanese cuisine has a longer history. Matthew grew up cooking with his Japanese grandmother. His Cajun-Japanese fusion heritage has left him with quite the skillset and palate!

Comradery and teamwork pair up to produce a delectable spread. Instructors move through the room, helping each group. Instructors also stop and demo multiple teachable moments along the way.
This class is for participants 13 and up. Teenagers must be accompanied by an adult; both the teenager and accompanying adult must purchase a class seat.
