What you'll learn
Chef Bruno Stril covers a number of important knife techniques that when mastered will truly impact your cooking skills. Then he introduces fundamental stocks and sauces and how they are used in soups and other classic French recipes.
You will see more essential sauces will be introduced such as Béchamel, Hollandaise, Verte and Tartare and then used in recipes. We will also cover frying, grilling, roasting, sautéing and more while making some delicious French dishes.
Some of the recipes you will learn are:
Foie Gras Poêlé with Pears: Foie Gras is fattened goose or duck liver. It has been considered an important French gastronomic experience for hundreds of years and part of France’s cultural history. Foie gras Poêlé is lightly seared.
How to Cook the Perfect Steak: Cooking a perfect steak is an art and a science. How long to cook your steak will depend on different factors such as the thickness of your steak, the type of steak, as well as how you like your steak cooked. There are generally five levels of done-ness or “cuisson” for your steak. Blue, Rare, Medium Rare, Medium and Well Done.
