I have spent days scouring the internet watching so many different Mother Sauce videos. I have no idea why yours showed up this late in the related videos section of another, rather than just in the search. This is *EXACTLY* what I was looking for. Thank you
I am certainly glad you found the video, and I have no idea why some of my stuff gets buried. I am still relatively new I suppose, and that could be it. Not to rip on some others either, but a lot of videos are seriously lacking. And many of these people have much larger budgets and productions than me.
For me, this might be the most helpful video you've made so far. I've always avoided french cuisine/mother sauces, etc, because it has always come off as stuffy, overly complicated and inaccessible. The is the most newbie-friendly and accessible take on the subject i think i've seen on YT so far. So good job and thanks!
I am glad I was able to put the video together that gave a good explanation of the mother sauces. That is the whole point of this channel, I saw things left out in other channels before I started this channel. And they know a lot of this stuff, I see it like they're giving me a layup. And I am gonna take it. I intend on covering every topic in this way. I am going to start working on the topic of Ice Cream here soon and I should have that one out sometime this summer
I certainly intend on doing more of these, I have a few more up. Not sure how to label them or let the audience know what they are, I will figure that out at some point. The Pan Sauce one, Ice Cream, and the one titled "How to make Stocks and Broths at Home" would fall into this category. I intend on doing on soups here soon
@ Sounds great. I‘m most certainly looking forward for Stocks and Broths. Regarding the title: You often mentioned culinary school. Maybe you could use something like that as a first part of the title, then a colon followed by the „chapter name“ if you will. In any way: I’ll return for any of your videos.
I always appreciate the feedback from someone who knows how hard it is to organize and put this stuff together. I have so much more I want to cover in future videos
I am glad you found the channel and very happy that you are finding it to be helpful. I am still relatively new to this youtube thing, and I have a lot planned for this channel. Thank you for the kind words and for your viewership. I appreciate it
Hey I greatly appreciate it, it means a lot. Glad you found it useful, I intend on covering pretty much every culinary topic in this manner. That will take a bit of time for sure, but it will get there
Instant subscription. Love this video, very informative, well structured, cutting straight to the point, no BS. I would second the comment requesting to reduce the volume of the background music.
hey I appreciate it for sure, seeing people saying the videos are helpful means a lot to me. I thought I might have something with doing the channel this way. And I intend on covering every topic in that way, sort of giving a similar spiel that you would get in culinary school, and without all the stupid life story shit you get when reading recipe articles. And ya, on the audio part, I am still dialing that in and i appreciate the constructive criticism. It is definitely a massive learning curve and I dont have a team of people. It is just me doing everything. It will get there soon enough.
I greatly appreciate that type of feedback, people finding my videos useful means a lot to me. And I love the retro wrestling reference. I still love Bob Backlund's heel character in the mid 90s quizzing everyone all the time
Hey thanks for the feedback and view. I am glad people are finding my videos helpful and useful. I hope you stick around on the channel. I am still new to this but I have a lot planned for the channel. I have a similar video on Ice Cream I am working on now
It's a pain in the ass to be honest. I sort of look at tomato sauces as 2 types, fresh and canned. I try to cook my fresh tomato sauces for a short time to preserve the fresh flavor. And if a sauce is cooked longer, I will use canned tomatoes. And thanks for the view and feedback, I am glad the video and channel are reaching people who enjoy it
Superb content mate! just one small bit of criticism: on the bits that you are explaining in front of the whiteboard, your voice came completely panned out to the left channel, but when you went into the cooking footage that problem dissapeared, you might want to look into that bc it can be a bit distracting. Other than that, excellent content, keep it up!
Ya a lot of people are giving me this feedback, and I greatly appreciate the constructive critique. I am still trying to figure it all out. The voice over is recorded directly into the editing software(divinci resolve) and the on camera portions are recorded into audacity, which is a free software. I have been recording and putting the settings as mono in both, but one seems to be having issues. Perhaps I will try stereo and see how it turns out. Of course I still don't have editing speakers lolol. Shit is so damn expensive
Ya I am still dialing this thing in for sure, in time it will be perfected. I hope you like the other stuff, I try to make these as informative as i can
So the stages are White, Blonde, and Brown. Some people say there are a few stops in between. For Bechamel, white roux is used and is only cooked for a minute or 2. I made blonde roux for the veloute, so that cooks for a few minutes and is a shade or 2 darker. Hey thanks for the view and feedback. I hope you stick around on the channel. I am still new to this and I have a lot planned for this channel. I have a similar video coming out next weekend on the topic of Ice Cream
ya I noticed that little slip up after uploading as well. Honestly tomato has the least that can go wrong. If you slightly undercook or overcook the onions, it not a big deal. With bechamel, you can make a lumpy sauce or burn the roux. so in that sense, tomato is the easiest. But comparing these to the others. Obviously with Espagnole the Stock and Brown Roux are both very tedious. Veloute does involve stock which if it is homemade, it is time consuming. With hollandaise, eggs can overcook very easily so a lot of people might have issues getting that one down. Thanks for pointing that out though, and feel free if you have any more questions. I don't use an AI like a lot of other youtubers, so it will have a few errors from time to time.
Anything with flour, milk, butter can be messed up and burned if the heat is wrong or you aren’t careful if you burn a tomato sauce you left your house while it was cooking
I am still dialing this thing in for sure. the music helps my pacing at this point. Unfortunately I still dont have any subscription based sources for sound effects and music and such. In time, I will have all that figured out. I hope you still find the channel informative. I intend on being the most educational food channel on youtube. Other channels leave a lot out with what they do. I do appreciate your viewership and feedback, and I hope you stick around to see what this evolves into. It's going to get better and better
a little tip for the hollandaise: don't do it directly on the stove, put a pot with water on the stove and do it in a bowl on top of that. P.S.: My favorite veloute soup is the pork blanquette.
i thought about including a double boiler method, it definitely is a more fool proof way and i should have at least mentioned it. Its hard to say what my favorite veloute preparation is, chicken pot pies are hard to beat lol
Why are ppl being rude , you can hardly even hear the background music .You did a great job with the explaining of the sauces , 🙏🏻 and the video is top notch . Hopefully ur video gets to the right audiences 🤌🏻
Thank you for the kind words, it's always nice getting these. I don't mind constructive criticism as I am certainly still trying to figure this whole thing out. I am glad you found the video to be useful, it took some work to organize the whole thing and figure out how to present it
For the first 6 minutes, audio only comes through one side of a stereo set up (headset and speakers) first then splits speech one eat and background music the other ear. Switches throughout the video. Good content, annoying audio issue.
Ya a lot of people have mentioned that, and I don't really know why that happened. I am not an audio expert by any means either, but I will figure it out. Thanks for the feedback too, that's how I learn about these issues and can address them. Thanks for the view too, I hope you stick around and see the channel improve
Yes it is. Speaking of that, at some point soon I am going to do a deep dive into soup making in a similar way to this one. Clear Soups, Purees, Cream Soups, Regional Soups and the way they're made.
@@BahbSilunt Ya i had something in the settings wrong, which is very unfortunate as this ended up being my most viewed video. I have corrected the issues since this point though
It doesn't have to be, but the formula for roux is 50/50 fat to flour. so technically if someone is being a stickler on it then clarified would be correct as whole butter contains water and milk solids. In hollandaise sauce, they can both be used. but clarified butter is the answer that was in the culinary textbooks and that was what was expected on the tests. But that ends up being very thick and hard to whisk, so you have to end up having to add water to get it to the right consistency. Thanks for the question and foodback too, I greatly appreciate it and hope i answered what you were looking for
Ya I am still working on that. I am having trouble picking up on audio editing, but I will get there. It's definitely a large learning curve and I am the only one doing the channel. Still appreciate the feedback, and thanks for the view and support. Even though the audio is subpar currently, things will always be informative
@@foodandcooking101 I think you have a really good mic but your placement while recording is just wrong. Maybe because of power outlet location problems maybe? Just put it in front of you rather than on the side. If it was in front of you I just think the it's a matter of rotation
I agree with the poster below; please ditch the elevator music; not only is it annoying, it is distracting. Just relax and don't worry so much about the pacing. On the plus side, you demystified French sauces, making them very approachable and unintimidating. Thank you, I've liked and subscribed.
Ya I have some tuning to do for sure. the masses have spoken. I uploaded a panini video with the music in the title intro portion, but then I lowered the volume of it considerably. see if that one comes out better. I am glad you are finding the usefulness of the content in spite of my errors. I will get better at this the more I do it
That was referring to the older recipes which also contained pork bones or ham bones. We didn't make that one when I did this stuff when I went to culinary school, we did the simpler sauce base. I hope you stick around on the channel, I've got some good stuff coming up
I don't really know what to say here. I am still trying to figure the whole thing out. I do appreciate the feedback, and I hope you still give the channel a chance because I am new to this and there will be imperfections. I make the videos very informative and I hope that will help you reconsider your initial thoughts
I think it's sometimes better to anglasise then it is to have terrible and pretentious attempts at french pronunciations. But yeah Sauce Alla-man-d haha.
lol. I can't hide the fact that I grew up in the middle of nowhere in Iowa. And I agree with you on that, pretentious attempts and random accent changes are more cringe than butchering words.

Excellent video, chef. I want to make the original tomato sauce just to see how it compares.
It's a pain in the ass to be honest. I sort of look at tomato sauces as 2 types, fresh and canned. I try to cook my fresh tomato sauces for a short time to preserve the fresh flavor.

What would you call the light brown roux you made?
So the stages are White, Blonde, and Brown. Some people say there are a few stops in between. For Bechamel, white roux is used and is only cooked for a minute or 2.

Not sure, lol. I guess I never really thought about it. I hope you enjoyed the video and found it helpful
@@foodandcooking101 I did. Merci!
The French termed them but they are the backbone to almost every sauce there is. Even bar b que sauce starts as tomato sauce

Excellent. P.S.: Please get rid of the annoying background noise pretending to be music. Makes it harder to follow the video.
