Raised on Roux: Celebrating the

“First you make a roux” is the phrase associated with classic dishes from the South

debated in lots of food circles, and feared by many home cooks. But what exactly is a
roux (pronounced “roo”)? A roux is fat and flour cooked together to enhance stocks
and other liquids. The concept is simple, but the flavor, texture, and color roux lends
to a dish are anything but simple. Learn how to make the right roux for the right
dish. 60-303-64103
