Excellent course on the basic mother sauces
I really enjoyed this course, and the instructor was very helpful in his suggestions of uses for the sauce themselves. I would've liked to see some additional recipes using the prepared sauces just to get more ideas. Overall, I was very satisfied with the content of this course and look forward to experimenting in my own home kitchen.

Great course for any level of cooking. I enjoyed this course and learnt something I'd never paid attention. Now I will try to make a few sauces which usually buy in the shop. This course gives me confidence. Thank you very much.
