Chef Skills - Stocks and Sauces

£140 per person

A half day cookery class experience

Chef Tutor - Gerard Molloy

Unlock the secrets to perfecting the foundation of culinary excellence in our 'Stocks and Sauces' cookery class. This immersive experience is designed for aspiring chefs and home cooks alike, eager to elevate their skills by mastering the art of essential stocks and sauces.

Under the guidance of our expert chef tutor, you will learn to craft three core stocks — Beef Stock, Chicken Stock, and Fish Stock — each fundamental to creating rich, flavourful dishes. Then, you’ll dive into the world of classic sauces, exploring the techniques behind a smooth Béchamel, a velvety Velouté, a rich Demi-Glace, a robust Tomato Sauce, and the luxurious, silky Hollandaise.

At the end of the class, we will provide the components for a delicious Eggs Benedict dish. With your own freshly made Hollandaise, savour this classic dish alongside a complementary refreshment, celebrating your newfound mastery.

If you would prefer to book over the phone or use a voucher as payment/part-payment please contact reservations on 01425 282212 or email your details to cook@chewtonglen.com.

Please note that this class is for those aged 18+
