Tired of jarred sauces?
Learning how to make your own pasta sauces from scratch can create deliciously surprising results and is fun and easy!
Join Chef Jaclyn Beckmann, one of the culinary masterminds behind L'OCA's Gourmet Meals, for a hands-on pasta sauce workshop that will not only empower you to master basic sauces, but also inspire you to develop your own unique and exciting flavour combinations.
In Pasta Sauce, From Scratch, you'll first learn how to taste each ingredient individually, then experiment by combining different flavours to create your own unique sauce recipes.
You'll gain a valuable understanding of how flavours work together, allowing you to confidently build delicious and creative sauces time and time again at home.
