This class is sold out! Those interested can view other culinary classes or join the wait list. Joining the wait list will result in a confirmation email, this does not guarantee a spot in the class.


This is a cooking class led by chef Bill Hardin.

Join Chef Bill for an introduction to sauce making. A sauce is a key component of many dishes, adding flavor, moisture and complexity. Chef Bill will guide students through a classic method of sauce making as well as contemporary sauces.

Our first sauce will be a classic hollandaise from scratch, which we will partner with grilled asparagus. Then we will modify this into a bearnaise to serve with fresh salmon. Next, we will be preparing a classic pan sauce to pair with a roasted pork tenderloin. Our last sauce will be a fruit coulis which will accompany grilled fruit.
