In this class, Monique Creary will teach you the secrets of quick and easy white sauce — also known as béchamel sauce — one of the five “mother sauces” of French cuisine. This sauce can be used as a base for a variety of dishes.

This hands-on class will introduce you to the technique of making a roux (a principal thickening agent of flour and butter) and several delicious meals that use it as a base.

REAL Macaroni & Cheese
The ultimate comfort food. Why have it from a box when you can learn how to make your own gooey, creamy dish of cheesey deliciousness?

White Sauce Pizza
Rich, yet simple, this pizza has a garlic-based cream sauce, a nice change from the typical red sauce variety.

Chili Con Queso
No need to purchases this pricey cheese dip from a jar for those nacho nights. This spicy, Mexican-inspired dip is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

All participants will go home with a slice of their creamy creations (if there’s any left from all the snacking during class). Monique will also provide a take-home recipe sheet with the three recipes taught.
