Classic French Cuisine: The Roux Way Part 2

Michel Roux teaches you how to cook French cuisine the Roux Way in the second part of his 3 course collection on French cooking. You'll learn Roux's trade secrets, his contemporary approach to taste and ingredients, and adapting his favourite recipes for home cooks. Taking a simple recipe and giving it a Roux twist, Chef Michel’s spinach, cheese and ham crepe is an elegant and luxurious dish. Once you’ve nailed the technique, Roux will set you the BBC MasterChef: The Professionals challenge – the crepe soufflé. Next you'll learn the Roux method for creating tasty stocks and soups, and sharing lessons from his bestselling book ‘Sauces’, Roux will demonstrate how and why sauces can transform your cooking. Finally, you will learn how to cook duck in 3 ways, with step-by-step instructions to maximise its flavour, including a recipe for Michel’s personal favourite, Confit de canard. Representing the best of French home cooking, this course has been designed so that the home cook can recreate these dishes, while the more accomplished cook can stretch their culinary muscles. You'll be able to re-create some of Le Gavroche's most loved dishes and learn the secrets of ‘how’ as well as the ‘what’ to master classic French cuisine.
