July Meeting: Sauces!


NACE July Meeting: Sauces – Things that make you go “YUM!”

What would a steak be without a Demi Glace Sauce?
What would Salmon be without a Beurre Blanc Sauce?
What would Eggs Benedict be without a Hollandaise Sauce?

Sauces are one of the fundamentals of cooking and the crowning glory of any dish. From the basic five “mother” sauces, there are literally hundreds of variations of sauces that are used to dress, complement, enhance and bring out the flavor of food. Know the basics and you’ll be able to prepare a multitude of recipes like a professional.

Learn all this and more as our distinguished panel of chefs educate us on the basics of the 5 Mother Sauces and their most common derivatives.

Across the Generations

The March meeting was held at the beautifully redecorated Northwood Club in Dallas. The ballroom was elegantly transformed by Top Shelf Weddings & Events, Linen Hero, Bridal Blooms and Creations, Absolute Entertainment & Lighting, Fauxcades, and Quest Drape. The Club provided a delicious dinner, signature drinks, and a fabulous Dessert Lounge. JH Pro served as Master of Ceremonies.

The speaker for the evening was Eric Papp. Eric talked about the skills and personalities of four distinctively different generations that currently make up the work force. His insight into the Generation Y (Millennials) as both customers and employees was extremely informative.
