Two fall classes at Picnic Basket: 1) Sauces, 2) Heart Healthy

Finished meal: Swai, couscous, grilled asparagus
Chef Noah made whipped cream

Cooking a roux

Fully browned roux

Concasse tomatoes, before chopping 
Tomato sauce

Smoked Salmon Vodka to add to the sauce
In class we made Swai (fish), couscous, grilled asparagus - all with a light hand.  For dessert we made pistachio pudding with whipped cream folded in, displayed on a pear half and garnished with chopped nuts.

For sauces we cooked roux (white) then cooked it further, until browned. With our knife skills we to concasse tomatoes, separating the skin from the flesh, seeding the chopping for sauce.  After cooking the sauce down quite a bit, we added the smoked salmon vodka and some cream for Vodka sauce over pasta.
