  • It’s one of the best courses here, however they are all bloody good. Just need to make often, or I’ll just do it again and again. The more you cook the better you get. Many thanks stephane

  • I signed up for the sauce making course with French Cooking Academy and have absolutely loved it so far! The course itself is very informative and educational, providing detailed steps for each recipe. The instructor, Stephane, is both fun and interesting to listen to and very good at explaining things clearly. He is very engaged with the class online and quick to provide feedback or answer questions. I plan to sign up for the other available online courses through French Cooking Academy after I complete the sauce one. If you like French food (and cooking), I HIGHLY recommend French Cooking Academy!!

  • This is great course and I was blown away by pretty much all the sauces. The fresh tomato sauces, the versatility of the mayonnaise, Noily Pratt and tarragon…. A whole new word of flavour for me. The bar is set a lot higher than the beginner’s course and I enjoy the medium complexity cooking. Thank you once again for producing really incredible content, presenting and documenting French cuisine and culture!

Is MASTER FRENCH SAUCES AT HOME right for me?  

  • This course is best suited for home cooks with some kitchen experience. If you're a beginner, we recommend starting with our foundational course, Get Started with French Cooking. It's a comprehensive program designed for beginners who want to quickly master the basics of French cuisine. With this course, you'll develop the essential skills needed to create delicious French dishes before progressing to more advanced techniques.

  • Most cooking courses only go as far as teaching the mother sauces and derivatives. Master French Sauces at Home goes far beyond that, teaching the skills to create a variety of sauces like the saucier in a French kitchen. From bistrot favourites like Bercy, Bearnaise, Sauce Diable and Ravigote to restaurant classics like the Bordelaise, Beurre Blanc, Chateaubriand, Duxelle and many more; some of which you will know and others which will be exciting new discoveries. The techniques and range of saucier techniques you will learn in this course will take your cooking to the next level.

  • This course is completely self-paced, so you can take as long as you like. However, if you follow the lessons consistently week by week, most students complete the course in 3 to 6 months.

  • If you purchase this course individually, you have lifetime access (meaning as long as the course is live) to all course materials, documents and videos. You can watch the lessons at your own pace and as many times as you want.

  • At a minimum, you will need a set of saucepans, sieve, wooden spoon, rubber spatula and a whisk to make most of the sauces in this course. But if you want to get serious and equip yourself with the cookware and utensils that a saucier would use in a professional kitchen, there is a full list of equipment included in the course. You can treat this as a reference if you would like to invest in a few extra items for your kitchen.

  • It is true that you can learn a lot from YouTube and it is a good resource for recipes. But if you are serious about learning how to cook, YouTube has its limitations. What you don’t get from YouTube is curated lessons taught in sequence and structured so you are learning like a professional would. Master French Sauces at Home is more comprehensive than what you can find on YouTube and many of the lessons and recipes have never been taught online as far as we know. It is also packed with original recipes and resources to help guide your transformation from struggling with a basic sauce recipe to becoming a skilled French sauce maker.

  • Of course! If you find that the course is not for you within 14 days of purchase, just let us know via email and we will give you a full refund, no questions asked.
