At The Walnut Grove Cookery School, we teach French cooking from the foundations — and nothing is more fundamental than sauces.
In this session, our guests learn how classical sauces are built: understanding reductions, emulsions, balance, and the quiet precision that transforms simple ingredients into depth and elegance. These are not just recipes to follow, but techniques to understand and carry into your own kitchen.
Sauces are the language of French cuisine — and once you speak it, everything changes.
Part of our immersive small-group culinary retreats in the French countryside, where knowledge, calm instruction, and classical technique come together.
