Larousse Gastronomique defines a sauce as “a hot or cold liquid either served with, or used in the cooking of, a dish.”It certainly helps to add flavour and enhances the dish. On this one day workshop at The Edinburgh New Town Cookery School we will teach how to make a variety of sauces. We will cover stocks, and how to thicken and enrich sauces whether by reduction, using a roux, adding butter or cream. We will also cover emulsion sauces and some sweet sauces. There will be a break for lunch which you can enjoy in our dining room with a glass of wine.

“I really learned a lot about sauces. Good mix between demonstrations and hands on. Good handouts to take home. Lovely that all measuring out was done for us. Experienced and encouraging teacher. Managed to make some lovely sauces and learn how to do it again at home. Oh and how could I forget – the lunch! I’ve cooked many steaks but added bonus I now know how to cook one perfectly BEFORE I put a delicious sauce on it.” – Heather (2024)
