Vegetable Stock Versatility: Create balanced, flavorful vegetable stocks suitable for vegan/vegetarian dishes, emphasizing the use of appropriate trims and avoiding bitterness. Dashi Fundamentals: Master the quick, precise preparation of traditional Japanese seafood dashi with kombu and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), and a vegetarian version with kombu and dried shiitake mushrooms, for applications in soups, sauces, and braises. Storage and Application: Learn best practices for cooling, storing (freezing/refrigeration), and applying different types of stocks to sauces, soups, and risottos.
