Sauces • Why do we use a sauce? • Moistness • Flavor • Richness • Appearance (color and shine) • Interest and appetite appeal
The structure of a sauce • Liquid • A thickening agent • Additional seasonings and flavors
Liquid • White stock • veloute´ • Brown stock • espagnole (ess pahn yohl) • Milk • béchamel • Tomato plus stock • tomato sauce • Clarified butter
ThickeningAgents • The sauce should be thick enough to cling to the food • Do not want it runny in most cases • Should not be heavy or pasty
Thickening Agents • Roux is a mixture of equal parts flour (starch) and fat (usually butter). • They are stirred constantly over heat to form either a white, blonde, or brown roux.
How Starches Work • Starches thicken by gelatinization • The starch granules absorb liquid and swell to many times there original size • Granules must be separated or lumps will form (outer granules will gelatinize trapping inner granules in a lump) • Two ways • mixing the starch with a fat • Dissolving in a cold liquid
Other Flavorings • The base of flavor is the liquid • Adding specified flavors to leading sauces make small sauces
Emulsification • Done with egg yolks • A uniform mixture of two unmixable liquids • In the case of hollandaise, eggs and butter • The two stay mixed and thick because the butter is beaten into tiny droplets and the egg yolks hold them apart
Reduction • Slowly simmering away the liquid leaving a bold intense flavor
Classification of Hot Sauces • The five mother sauces • Espagnole • Brown stock plus brown roux • Béchamel • Milk and white roux • Veloute • White stock plus white or blonde roux • Tomato • Tomato plus stock (roux may be optional) • Hollandaise • Butter plus eggs
Sauces • Liquid + thickening agent • leading sauce • Leading Sauce + additional flavorings • Derivative (small) sauce
Derivative (small) sauces • From brown stock to jus lié or espagnole • Demiglaze • Bordelaise (marrow) • Chasseur (mushrooms and tomato) • Robert (white wine, lemon juice and mustard) • Marchand de vin (red wine and shallots)
Derivative (small) sauces • From béchamel • Cream sauce (heavy cream, nutmeg) • Mornay (Gruyére or other Swiss cheese) • Cheddar sauce (cheddar cheese) • Alfredo sauce (Parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper) • Nantua (crayfish or shrimp butter and heavy cream)

Choosing and using a hot sauce • One that will compliment the food • Supreme for a chicken breast • Wine for fish • One that will create interesting contrast • Bérnaise with grilled steak
Standards and qualities for sauces • Consistency and body • Smooth no lumps • Not too thick should cling to food • Flavor • Distinctive but well balanced • No starchy taste • Appearance • Smooth with good shine • Good color for type
