  • For a lot more information, please visit our resource page: StellaCulinary.com/Sauces. You can also watch the full culinary boot camp video, S is for Sauce, here: • S is for Sauce | Culin...
    In this video I layout my technical approach to sauce making, a concept I refer to as the Three Modern Mother Sauces.
    When I attended culinary school, the Five French Mother Sauces was at the core of our sauce making curriculum. The mother sauces and their multitude of derivatives are memorized and hammered into culinary school students, showing up on quizzes, tests, and finals.
    The Five French Mother Sauces are still at the heart of most western culinary school's sauce curriculums today; and although I think it's important to understand the Five French Mother Sauces, in all honesty, they're really a redundant, out of date approach to teaching cooks the creative sauce making process.
    The purpose of Stella Culinary isn't to turn you into a recipe machine; our true purpose is to teach the fundamental building blocks you need to understand the how's and why's of cooking, eventually unleashing your own culinary creativity and allowing you to express yourself through cooking.
    When it comes to creating a sauce, there are only three base techniques you need to master to create any sauce you could ever dream up. Once these techniques and their corresponding best practices are understood, all that's necessary is to construct your preferred flavor structure over the top. This approach allows you to create a multitude of custom, unique sauces that can elevate your dish to the next level.

    Been crushing your videos thank you! I am currently a cook in the United States, but 4 months ago I moved to France. I have been cooking for 4-5 years, but have never been in culinary school. I am currently cooking here at a 1 Michellin Star, but most of this stuff I know but just not the correct terms or science around it, and I appreciate you giving me all the info!! Thank you.

    These videos are fantastic and a huge thank you to Jacob and his team. I never had any idea what other chefs were talking about when they'd use any science in their recipes/descriptions. Breaking down a triple helix into collagen? Using citrus to balance sweet? Why, when and how much salt/pepper? This was like a foreign language. However, these videos unlocked it all, not to mention the mother sauces, the more universal interpretation through the new mother sauces, etc. Really great!!!! And for free. Yes, Flower Girl is right. Heart of Gold.

But I have always been inconsistent in my technique and often miss the mark in what I'm trying to achieve. Your teaching method is exactly what I've been missing. I just watched this video and have subscribed. I will be watching. Can't wait to learn more!

    I learned the mother sauces last year...it was obvious that roux-based sauces were all the same thing. At this point, my favorite way of making mac & cheese is with a roux, mixed with 70% milk and 30% reduced stock (I usually use a light chicken stock). When the bechaloute is made, I add an aged chevre (microplaned; otherwise you risk grittiness), some white wine - or straight sodium citrate; the chemical helps with cheese emulsification, and some don't drink/object to cooking with wine - and some white pepper. Add cheese in steps until the sauce just starts to feel gritty. Strain through a fine sieve and reserve the strainer junk for an omelette, if you're concerned about loss of cheese.
    Smooth, fantastic base for a cheesy-pasta sauce.

    Due to quarantine, I started learning how to cook. When I started reading about sauces, it was very confusing to me as a mathematician and engineer because the classification to 5 "mother sauces" doesn't seem logical -- some of them are too similar, and the 5th one seems really off. Your approach seems to be more logical to me, so thank you sir!

    @MrQuickrebuttle 6 років тому

    This made so much sense to me, as a line cook w/ no formal training I have to do a lot of sauces regularly and it really does come down to three techniques. The flavor is irrelevant really, as long as you know what pairs well and balance. You can make literally any sauce you want and it just works. Nice vid, thanks chef.

    you dont really reduce, emulsify, or puree anything in it so I'm just curious how you would classify it. thank you so much for this video and everything else you put out, it has helped me out so much.😁
