10. History of the Mother Sauces
All sauces in cooking are derived from five basic sauces, called the Mother Sauces.
Traditionally prepared in huge quantities, and then separated into smaller portions.
These smaller portions combined with additional ingredients create 100’s of variations.

11. Roux 1:1 ratio 4 T butter:¼ cup flour
Once the fat is melted in the pan the flour is added. The mixture is stirred until the flour is incorporated and then cooked.
The longer you cook it, the darker it will become. The end result is a thickening and flavoring agent.

12. Whisk scalded milk gradually into a flour butter roux.
Béchamel - White Sauce
Preparation
Whisk scalded milk gradually into a flour butter roux.

13. These Sauces are made FROM a Béchamel
Mustard Sauce: Whisk the Bechamel Sauce with ¼ cup of prepared mustard at the end.
Dill Cream Sauce: Add dry or fresh Dill 1 tsp at a time. Taste after each addition to check for readiness.
Once you have the basic sauce made, you can work with it to fit the taste profile you’re looking for.
Alfredo Sauce: Whisk grated parmesan cheese into the finished sauce (off heat) until it melts.
-Use about ¾ cup of cheese per two cups of sauce.
-Pour your cheese sauce over angel hair noodles that are cooked al dente.

14. Again, use the 1:1 ratio = 1 cup liquid (stock) per 1 ounce of Roux
Veloute - Blond Sauce
Veloute uses a slightly darker roux (the roux is toasted longer to a slight brown color), and a white stock such as chicken or fish.
Again, use the 1:1 ratio = 1 cup liquid (stock) per 1 ounce of Roux

15. Veloute based Sauces
Mushroom Sauce: by sautéing mushrooms and stirring them into the finished sauce.
Herb sauce by finishing the Veloute sauce with minced fresh herbs to taste. Be careful, the herbs are potent.
If you want a spicier sauce, add some hot pepper in with the roux and toast it a bit before adding your liquid.
If you want some onion flavor, chop up part of an onion and sauté it, same as you’d do for a mushroom sauce.

16. Espagnole - Brown Sauce
Step 1:
Espagnole sauce is prepared from
vegetables and herbs that are cooked
in a brown roux, a dark stock such as
beef, and then a tomato purée.
Step 2:
The sauce is left to simmer for around two hours until it reduces to a thick brown sauce.
Step 3:
The final stage is to pass the sauce through a sieve, which will retain all of the vegetables, lumps and unwanted ingredients. You may add this on top when finished.

17. Espagnole Mushroom Sauce: Espagnole sauce and mushrooms.
Bordelaise Sauce: Espagnole sauce with red wine, shallots and herbs.
Lyonnaise Sauce: Espagnole sauce with chopped onions, parsley and white wine.

18. Hollandaise - Butter Sauce
Hollandaise sauce is an emulsion of butter and lemon juice. Egg yolks are used as the emulsifying agent. Usually seasoned with salt and cayenne pepper.
Properly made, the sauce is smooth and creamy.
The flavor should be rich and buttery, with a mild tang added by the lemon juice and seasonings.
It must be made and served
warm, not hot

19. Tomato Sauce - Red Sauce
Classically, Tomato Sauce is made with tomatoes, vegetables, seasonings, and vegetable stock. Tomato Sauce should be thick and rich, with a slightly sweet flavor.
Marinara sauce is a common Italian variation of this mother sauce, made by adding onions, garlic and oregano.
