Velouté
One of French classical cuisine mother sauces. Velouté is the French term for velvety. As a foundational sauce. Many variations are derived from Velouté such as Allemande, Normandy and Sauce Supreme to name a few. Despite the fancy name, velouté is a simple sauce to cook that will add a wonderful touch to many of your favorite dishes.
Béchamel
One of French Classical cuisine mother sauces. Béchamel is a basic white sauce that is the starting point for making other famous sauces such as mornay and soubise.
Tomato
Tomato sauce is possibly the most popular of all the mother sauces. Unlike your traditional Italian tomato sauce. The French version adds more flavor by rendering salt pork and sautéing aromatic vegetables. This delicious sauce is the base to other known sauces such as Creole and Provençal.
Hollandaise/Mayonnaise
Hollandaise is worlds apart different from the other four mother sauces. As an emulsified sauce, Hollandaise uses clarified butter instead of whole butter by slowly whisking into the egg yolks to create a decedent, tangy and buttery sauce. Famous small sauces made from Hollandaise are Béarnaise and Foyot. Also let us not forget Mayonnaise. It will also be taught in this class.
Espagnole/Brown
Espagnole sauce also called brown sauce, is a complex mother sauce that produces a rich and deeply flavorful sauce. Thickened with roux, Espagnole is made with beef stock, tomato puree and mirepoix to add a deeper flavor and color. A demi-glaze is then made by reducing by half or equal amount of Espagnole and beef stock. Famous small sauces that begin with Espagnole are Madeira and Chasseur.
