Super detailed

This and the stock course (and I can imagine all of Ignacio's courses) are just so good, not only he knows so much, but he enjoys sharing his knowledge and helps you understand giving small tips at all times. So many courses don't go deep into the recipe or leave important details out, this course is really thorough.

Interesting and descriptive!

That was a very informative course for me because I've heard of all those sauces and didn't know what's all about! Of course as a Greek I don't use many of them, in traditional Greek cuisine only the bechamel and tomato sauce are widely used, also the tsimitsuri looks like the Greek olive oil- lemon traditional vinegrette. Amazing chef, such vivid descriptions, thank you, Ignacio and Scoolinary!
