- **Event Name**: Cooking Foundations with Tim: Stocks, Soups & Sauces
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 11:30 am
- **Event Description**: As part of a series of classes focused on cooking fundamentals, join chef Tim Greaves at Perth City Farm for a hands-on cooking class exploring one of the true foundations of great food: stocks, soups & sauces.

From traditional home cooking to high-end commercial kitchens, a good stock is essential to good food. The basis of soups, sauces, stews, risottos and so much more, making quality stock from scratch is a truly fundamental skill for any cook.

Making a good stock is an essential technique that many chefs — let alone home cooks — have never been properly taught. Learning how to make your own stock will not only elevate your cooking, but can also help reduce food waste, save money, and encourage a more sustainable approach to eating and cooking at home.

In this community-focused and sustainability-minded workshop, you’ll learn how to create rich, restaurant-quality beef, chicken, and vegetable stocks using organic and ethically sourced ingredients. Drawing on his background as a classically trained chef, Tim will guide participants through traditional techniques that transform simple ingredients and kitchen scraps into deeply nourishing, flavour-packed foundations for everyday cooking.

Together, we’ll explore how these versatile stocks can be used to create nourishing bone broths, comforting soups, aromatic Asian-style broths, and even a classic beef demi-glacé for enriching stews and producing restaurant-quality sauces.

Whether you’re a passionate home cook or just beginning your kitchen journey, this class offers the opportunity to learn classical techniques from a professional chef in a welcoming community environment.

Come cook, learn, and share food together.
