Stock and Sauce Basics

Stock & Sauce Basics

Hands-on cooking class + live demonstrations

Beginner friendly. Participants under 13 must be accompanied by an enrolled responsible adult.

What you’ll learn

This week is where your cooking truly levels up — because great meals start with great flavour.

You’ll learn the foundations that turn simple ingredients into deeply satisfying dishes:

• How to make a simple, versatile house stock from scratch

• Why stock is the secret behind rich, “restaurant-quality” flavour

• How to build flavour in layers using aromatics, seasoning, and gentle simmering

• How one base can become multiple meals

• Smart storage tips so your freezer becomes your future best friend

You’ll stop cooking with just water — and start cooking with flavour.

What you’ll cook

We create one beautiful base and transform it into comforting, practical meals:

• Slow-Simmered Chicken & Corn Soup (From-Scratch Stock)

• Then learn how to turn leftovers into:

  • House-Stock Noodle Bowl

  • Creamy No-Stir Stock Rice

You’ll see how one pot of effort can carry you through several meals with ease.
