The Art of Sauces (Week 5: Butter Sauces)

The Art of Sauces: Butter SaucesTuesday, September 24, 2025 | 6:00–8:30 PMLocation: Mitchell Hall | Instructor: Chef Douglas J. Weber, CEC

Butter-based sauces are often considered the most technical of the French mother sauces—but with the right approach, they're entirely manageable in your own kitchen. In this hands-on class, Chef Douglas J. Weber, CEC (Culinary Institute of America honors graduate), will guide you through proper emulsification techniques to create rich, balanced sauces.

You’ll make:

• Hollandaise Sauce (served with eggs Benedict)
• Sauce Béarnaise (paired with grilled salmon)
• Beurre Blanc (demonstrated by the chef, with tasting)

This session is ideal for those looking to sharpen classic technique and improve consistency with heat-sensitive emulsions.

Wine will be served with the meal.

🧑‍🍳 What to Wear:

• Comfortable, closed-toe shoes
• Long pants
• Hair tied back
