    If you're serious about taking your cooking to the next level, mastering the art of sauce making is a must.
    In fact, one of the biggest divides between the amateur and professional chef comes from the latter's ability to make a multitude of amazing sauces that can elevate a dish to the next level.
    Anyone with a good probe thermometer and a little practice can pan roast or grill a steak mid-rare, but the accompanying sauce that transforms that steak into a high end entree seems like a daunting task to the uninitiated.
    To learn sauces, you must first start at the beginning, and understand the framework laid out in western culinary schools today; The Five French Mother Sauces.
    Admittedly, these five mother sauces and their derivatives are extremely old school, and their popularity has been in steady decline for a few decades. But this doesn't mean they're useless, or understanding them is a waster of time.
    In the above video, I give you an overview of the Five French Mother Sauces. This video will serve as a jumping off point for the next lecture in this series; my technique based approach to sauce making that when combined with flavor structure, will allow you to make any sauce you could ever imagine.

My sister was making stocks by the time she turned 18, I'm just now starting to appreciate the value of making a fresh stock; I've got a decade and a half of knowledge and practice to catch up on.

    According to the new video by "Alex - French Guy Cooking", Escoffier actually made Mayo a mother sauce - not Hollandaise. This was due to the the english translator changing the book

    • @ryanspencerlauderdale687
      @ryanspencerlauderdale687 3 роки тому +1

      Well mayo, hollandaise and bearnaise sauces are all within a similar family. The constant is the emulsion of eggs. The oil for mayo, butter and lemon juice for hollandaise, and butter and tarragon vinegar for bearnaise are what changes the sauce. It’s the emulsion technique that’s represented.

    • @JacobBurton
      @JacobBurton  3 роки тому

      Yeah, except Hollandaise has been taught as a mother sauce for the last 100 years, and it's technically more difficult to make than mayonnaise. So while Alex's video was interesting, it doesn't really change much, especially the fact that the Five French Mother Sauces has always been a flawed tool for teaching sauce making (even though every culinary school uses it), which is why I use the Three Modern Mother Sauces (a technique based approach) to teach my cooks sauce making: ua-cam.com/video/EUyXvO9MQJk/v-deo.html

      I was so surprised when I was reading "Le Guide Culinaire" to make my own mayonnaise (in french), that hollandaise is stated as a sub-sauce, and mayo as a mother sauce. Later I saw Alex's video and article which were on point.
      I even checked french cooking sites and they state hollandaise as a mother sauce as well. (wikipedia mentions both stories which is good)
      Le Larousse Gastronomique states 14 mother sauces (both Hollandaise and Mayonnaise are included (hot and cold emulsion ) 🤷🏻‍♂️

      heyontv Some people will list it as a mother sauce, but others will argue that mayonnaise is simply a cold variation of hollandaise. But they're both egg based emulsions, so they're pretty similar from a technical view point. The five mother sauces that I listed in the video, Espagnole, Bechamel, Velout, Sauce Tomat, and Hollandaise, are the five mother sauces put forth by Escoffier, and the main ones taught in Western Culinary Schools.

      they are called the mother of sauces for they are the essential basic kinds of sauces. Yes, from each of the mother sauces you can make their derivations. For example you can make the allemande sauce from veloute sauce.
