The Art of Sauces: Tomato SaucesThursday, September 18, 2025 | 6:00–8:30 PMLocation: Mitchell Hall | Instructor: Chef Douglas J. Weber, CEC

If you’ve cooked before and want to sharpen your skills, this hands-on class is for you. Join Chef Douglas J. Weber, CEC—honors graduate of The Culinary Institute of America—for an approachable class in tomato-based sauces, part of The Art of Sauces series.

We’ll cover:

• How to build depth of flavor in tomato sauces
• The role of reduction and seasoning
• Tips to avoid overly acidic or watery sauces

You’ll take what you’ve learned and apply it to prepare two dishes:

• Stuffed Pasta Shells with Tomato Sauce
• Skillet-Poached Eggs in Creole Sauce

Both are served with crusty bread and a glass of wine.

This class focuses on techniques you can repeat at home—no fancy tools required.
