In this class, we will cover the 5 mother sauces, how to make them, and some of their uses. We will make one mother sauce per lesson, as well as make a dish that uses that mother sauce. These 5 sauces are considered the foundation of all sauces in French cuisine and are often taught at the very beginning of culinary school. These sauces teach not only sauce making, but also knife skills, roux, and flavor combinations that can be used in all of their future cooking. Videos (using up to 4 different camera angles) and recipes will be posted eat the beginning of each lesson. Other facts and information will be posted in regards to the sauces to assist the students in learning about these sauces. Students are encouraged to post pictures of their creations for teacher feedback and questions. Responses will occur within 24 hours of student posting.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate
My name is Rochelle Van Der Merwe, but most people call me Chef Ro (it's just easier!). I graduated from The Art Institute with my culinary degree, and I have been in the food industry as a professional for nearly 15 years. I have been teaching for almost 10 years now, both to home cooks and to future professionals. I have taught at recreational schools, Culinary Schools, and most recently at a high school.
I have cooked in both restaurants and catering companies. I have also been the Executive Chef of a hospital, run recreational cooking programs all over the country, and even done some private chef work. I have worked professionally on both the culinary side and the pastry side, and have taught both for many years. I simply love showing people that cooking is not difficult, and can also be quite fun!
I do have two four-legged colleagues of the kitty variety that will sometimes cry because they want to be on camera. But I assure you - I don't let the cat hair get in the food!
