Tangy Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce made from scratch is easy, homey and delicious on its own, but also a valuable cooking tool. Braise meat in it, poach eggs in it, top a pizza with it, or just add to pasta.
All it takes is a few ingredients. Tomatoes have a rich flavor, high liquid content, very soft flesh which breaks down easily, and the right composition to thicken into a sauce when they are cooked (without the need of thickeners like roux). Watch Shelley make a basic tomato sauce in our latest video. You'll never buy jarred sauce again!

Tomato sauce is one of the five mother sauces of classical cuisine. To say we love it is an understatement. Check out how many of our upcoming classes show reverence for the red sauce:

Tomatoes make a good chutney as well as sauce. So, when one of our students recently asked "What's the difference between a chutney and relish?", we really took it seriously. We gathered our top chefs for a discussion, consulted our favorite reference guide for home cooks: The Food Lover's Companion, did some internet research and came up with an official stance for our student and the rest of the world.
