Sauces: Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making

by,  James Peterson

Private Cooking Classes



Our Private Cooking Classes Have Proven to be a Fun and Informative Night Out for Food Lovers.
 
For Parties of 4 or more, Chef Mark will teach you just about anything you want to learn.  You and he can even design the lesson plan together.  

Taking a private cooking class at Chefs' Haven is like dining with your own private chef. Chef Mark gives everyone a copy of the recipes at the beginning of class, explains why and what he's doing every step of the way, invites hands-on participation where applicable and prepares a wonderful meal ~ just for YOU. 

Chef Mark expects you'll have  questions, and hopes you'll take the knowledge you gain home, and use it daily when cooking for your friends and family.

A great night out for friends, family, and co-workers.

Brown SauceI love making sauces, they are so rewarding!

If you love food, you know a good sauce can make a meal.  
 
 March is National Sauce Month! 
 
Sauces come in all sorts of forms.   From a very simple cream sauce, which is heated and slightly reduced with a hint of mustard added that can be made in 3 minutes,  to the complicated  Demi-Glace based sauces which can take hours of preparation. 

As with all cooking, it doesn't have to be complex to be good.

Smoked Salmon and Shrimp Sauce
12 shrimp shells
1 T unsalted butter
1/2 cup fish stock or court-bouillon
1 1/2 oz tomato puree
1 sprig fresh thyme or tarragon
2 oz smoked salmon
1/2 cup heavy cream
hot pepper sauce to taste
 
Cook shrimp shells in the butter for about 10 minutes, until they turn pale orange. Add court-bouillon or fish stock, the tomato puree, and the herbs to the shrimp shells. Simmer for 15 minutes, and strain it into a second saucepan. Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips about 1 inch long. Add the strips of salmon to the sauce, and simmer for 10 minutes more. Add the heavy cream and reduce to desired consistency. Add the pepper sauce to taste.  This sauce is best served with full-flavored fish or grilled fish.
