Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

Discover a trifecta of essential sauces vital for any home cook! Start with béchamel–a versatile sauce that can be applied across many cuisines. Our second sauce, Mornay, is a creamy, cheesy sauce and the base for dishes like macaroni and cheese or scalloped potatoes. The third sauce is hollandaise–this creamy, silky, lemony sauce is the vital ingredient for eggs Benedict but can also be used atop many other dishes. Chef Mary will show you the best techniques for all three and you will get to sample them in practical application! This is a demonstration class, however, students are welcome to either watch or join us in the kitchen. Bring an apron, a couple of small containers for leftovers, and your appetite! Recipes provided.
