Building Perfect Roulades

About this course

The roulade technique is a way of building a dish rather than one recipe: wrap, layer, shape, slice. Six lessons carry it across seafood, meat, vegetables and pastry. A skate paupiette bound with scallop and prawn mousseline. A quail ballantine with black truffle mousseline. Pumpkin sformato with Dungeness crab. Grilled cabbage with spinach and chanterelles.

The last two push it further: a wagyu beef wellington with matsutake duxelles, one lesson of six, and an amberjack roulade with a bone vinegar gel. One logic sits under all of them. A filling seasoned to hold its shape, a wrapper that shrinks at the same rate, a tight roll, a rest before the knife.

Change the protein and the ratios move, but the order does not. You finish able to build a roulade from whatever the walk in holds and slice it clean on the pass, which is the point: not six recipes, but a technique you can aim at anything.

"More than a recipe, roulade is a technique. The possibilities it offers are endless."
