Demo + Tasting

Location: Kitchen Collage, 430 E. Locust Street | Des Moines, IA 50309

Discover how timeless French techniques can elevate everyday cooking. Join Chef Cherry Madole for a demonstration-style class focused on classic sauces and simple preparations that form the foundation of French cuisine.

The menu highlights essential skills and versatile recipes, including:

• Béchamel (Classic White Sauce) — the base for countless French and modern dishes

• Roasted Chicken from Wini’s Everyday French Cooking — including a live demonstration on how to break down a whole chicken and transform béchamel into a flavorful pan sauce

• Lemon Curd — a bright, adaptable sauce perfect for tarts, parfaits, and easy desserts

Chef Cherry will break down the why behind each technique, showing how these building blocks can be mixed, matched, and used again and again in your home kitchen.

At Kitchen Collage, our classes focus on technique and community — helping you cook with confidence while enjoying the pleasure of gathering around good food.
