Class is 9/29 at 6:30pm at our shop in downtown Salem.

Learn to make quick, easy, boldly-flavored sauces to turn your meals into something special!

Menu includes:
South American Chimichurri Verde - the perfect accompaniment to grilled foods
Spanish Romesco - an unusually delicious topper for eggs, sandwiches, and veggies
French Beurre Blanc - this "fancy" sauce is sooo much easier than you think
Laotian Jeow Som - the best light, spicy sauce for meat, noodles, rice
Middle Eastern Tahini Sauce - makes almost any food taste better

Each sauce will be prepared and served in five mini-courses. Class discussion will include variations on each sauce and ways to use them.
