A Sorcerer in the Kitchen

The entrée is exquisite, the side dishes are superb, dessert is divine, but something is still missing: the perfect sauce that will add that essential finishing touch to the plate. In an upcoming class at In Good Taste Cooking School, Chef Hugh Carpenter will demonstrate how to make six phenomenal sauces that will transform any simply cooked meat or seafood into a complex tasting and beautiful entrée for special dinner gatherings or holiday occasions. Even simple cooking techniques for fish, chicken, and pork, can be made glamorous with the right finishing touch.

Students will enjoy a full meal, the basic proteins accompanied by their respective sauces. The menu includes Avocado Ginger Sauce served with Dungeness Crab, Shrimp topped with Tangerine Garlic Sauce with Cilantro and Chiles, Halibut garnished with a fresh Basil-Mint Arugula Sauce, juicy Pork Tenderloin flavored with a Curried Coconut Sauce with Mango and Chili, Flatiron Steak bathed in Shiitake Mushroom Cream Sauce, and Chicken Smothered in Raspberry Red Wine Sauce. Each course will be paired with wine. The class will be held Friday, November 14th 6:30 pm at the Pearl District location.
