How to make supreme sauce | culinary techniques | French cooking academy

[@andre_santos2181]

As an engineer, I love the routines and procedures of french recipes, specially how organised the sauces derivations are, it is almost a science with canons and boundaries of fields. The systematic way in which French cuisine classifies sauces and ranks them speaks to my love of the complexity of thought structures

[@johnroquemore9128]

I like the fact that your not above posting mistakes. I saw a negative comment about that on your channel. They said they wanted a “hero” Not me. I want an instructor humble enough to show me what not to do, as well as one confident enough to admit that they are not “ hero’s”. I prefer the human element you bring in a world filled with “hero’s”

[@michelguevara151]

hero? strange idee, I think this knowledge is essential for everyone, knowing how to cook is not optional unless you are a junk food junkie

[@johnroquemore9128]

It went right over your head, you did not get it. You probably will not get it. Sorry if I confused you.

[@bostonbesteats364]

Even Julia Child dropped a chicken on the floor and kept right on cooking!

[@greenskin86]

@@bostonbesteats364 I think I got the point. People like Marco Pierre White are mumbling about the "story of the dish" you have to tell with the plate, blah blah blah. Stephane on the other hand is telling us "relax, enjoy your cooking and perfect it as you go". He's not talk gibberish about "telling a story of your childhood with a ragou", but encourages you to embrace your mistakes, treat cooking as a hobby, relax about it and just enjoy both dish and the process of making it. Which is remarkable by the way.

I love how you bring life to Escoffiers Books. Thank you Stephane! Cheers from Greece

[@TheVetusMores]

Not only does he bring life to Escoffier, Stephane _demystifies_ his work, and thereby makes it less terrifying to attempt! In fact, he makes it _fun_ ;)

[@kevinslover100]

Stéphane, I made the supreme sauce this evening for a dinner of Italian style meatballs, boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Long story short, this is the best sauce I’ve ever made! Your instructions are complete and clear making a successful result nearly a foregone conclusion. The family loved the flavor and consistency. I did one thing differently in order to speed up the process. I couldn’t wait for the roux to cool down on its own, so I sped it up by putting the saucier in a cool water bath (used a small roasting sheet) for 5 minutes and it worked fantastic. I now have a new technique to build on. Thank you for this channel.

[@celticat61]

You make great, well produced and informative videos that explain the basics that anyone can follow. Thanks for posting!

thanks for the feedback

[@parsnipproductions8875]

The best part of this channel is learning the techniques to the point you only need the short description at the very beginning to do it

[@comesahorseman]

Just made this sauce... it's the first time I've ever made roux also. It's terrific, and it's not hard; it just requires some patience. Thanks a lot!!

[@BushiBato]

thank you for a nice video.My first job as a teenager was in a Mexican restaurant,and not long after i began learning American BBQ where the meat is smoked low and slow,but not long after i began to have a serious taste for French cuisine because of Emeril and his Creole and Cajun influences,and of course later when i took a six month Culinary course based on the CIAs curriculum which is of course solidly based on French methods applied to all the world's cuisines.Some of the older or first lessons have faded....but your channel is bringing them back to mind.Again,thank you!

[@lazarossiskopoulos2591]

Wow, thank you for the nice comment still a lot of things to learn but I love it. French cooking is always fascinating and there are some many interesting techniques

[@sweetsilage]

Thank you for explaining that most sauces start with a roux and what stock you add to it determines what sauce you are making. Then anything added is personal choice.

[@axiomist4488]

I never get tired of watching your videos or listening to you . This sauce (and any others made by the French) is delicious. I would put in on rice or even pasta ooooohh ! how about on eggs? Thank you for teaching so well, so simply . You're a fine teacher .

[@markevans506]

I just made this sauce and whipped it up real quick (i.e.- it’s not too hard).I added Taragon and a dash of smoked paprika instead of cayenne, my gang loved it!

[@wemblyfez]

I’ve always believed that sauces were the soul of French cuisine and this proves it. I’d love to see a whole series of exploring sauces. Another great lesson, Stephane. Bravo! A bientot!

funny that you are mentioning this , because something big is stewing in the background 😉

[@BobSanders]

When making a roux, I was taught by a top chef, to take a small piece and 'grind' it between my fingers. If it felt sandy, gritty, the roux was ready. Bob

[@bluebear747]

I made this to go alongside some fried Hake fillets. I added more lemon juice and some capers. It worked very well. But next time I’m not going to use the roux and just reduce it before adding the cream as I don’t think it needs so much thickening.

[@bkm2797]

I love all the French sauces and this one is especially tasty. I have found how important it is to use a concentrated homemade stock. Looks delicious! Thank you for another great recipe, and I see you continue to grow in subscribers (congratulations) you deserve it.

Chef, it's so good to have you back on your regular Thursday schedule. I realize I'm being a bit sacrilegious here, but do you have any recommendations for ingredients of roux-based sauces for those who are gluten intolerant? I'm sure Auguste would turn over in his grave, but any suggestions might be appreciated. Don't hate me...

[@aidanclarke6106]

You can replace the flour by either cornstarch or buckwheat

[@ceknott]

I love your recipes and would kindly suggest to show the ingredients also in cups and spoons as it is boring to be weighing them. Americans are more relaxed at this and use these terms.

You should not be tied down with weights and measurements. If you the method you free yourself.

[@charliesimpson2974]

A technical question; why not add cold stock to the roux while it's still hot? (I know cold roux, hot stock: hot roux, cold stock) Does the final sauce gain something by letting the roux cool?

[@jojomama4787]

This is exactly what I grew up with and I don't think my mother ever even heard of France!She just called it "gravy"!

[@TitoTimTravels]

That is one thing I really like about this channel - he demystifies classic French cooking. Much of the classic food (in any country) is the down home cooking. My mom, from Arkansas, would make this gravy, but would not of thought to add lemon, and would have used black pepper for the color ha ha.

[@aidanclarke6106]

JoJo Mama - Plot twist: you are actually siblings 😂🤣

[@MehediHasanSizan]

Is it a must that my stock has to be hot when mixing in the roux?

Can you do a video for Entrecôte sauce ?

[@jameshnall]

Very easy to follow tutorial and never intimidating which some can be and thank you, I look forward to seeing your videos with great anticipation. However, am I to assume that clarified butter can be used in this and any sauce? Plus, is there any advantage in doing so? A more “pure” butter taste or would the use actually effect the outcome and quality of the texture and taste? Thank you.

[@andysbg77]

Great Tutorial! Instead of the lemon juice, you can also add some white wine!👍

[@deepmistry7529]

Hey Stephen, Thanks for sharing all the information. You video is very helpful to me but i have a doubt about sauce supreme. I'm a culinary student and in french cooking books supreme is made by simmering mushroom in veloute. But i saw all the video no one using mushroom not even mushroom essence . So my doubt is that in local restaurant (authentic french) supreme is made without mushroom? Or internet just simplifies the recipe without mushroom?

[@COOKINGFROMTHELOFT]

Brilliant! Merci!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

👨🏻‍🍳👍

[@antyest]

Does coconut milk go well with this sauce

[@j2zel]

Hello Chef! Thanks for the great explanation. If I wanted to bake some chicken in a sauce supreme, would the additional heat from the oven cause the sauce to thicken too much? If so, should I reduce the sauce less on the stove before adding it with the chicken to the oven? Also I recently came across a recipe online that used a sauce consisting of a blonde roux, chicken stock, and half-and-half. It didn't give a name for the sauce, but I was curious, is this considered a variation of a sauce supreme? Or does it have a completely different name?

[@luciaaste6812]

Hello, i'm studying English, and i want to know if there is another synonym to "naping the spoon" and how it's the spelling

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

lol i think i am not the best at this . someone just told me the word to use is coating🙂🙂

[@Bojoschannel]

@@FrenchCookingAcademy this is the correct answer

[@TitoTimTravels]

As an American cook I have only ever heard of nap. I have seen it spelled 'nap' and 'nappe'. You want the sauce to nap (lightly coat) the food, so you check its nap consistency on the spoon.

[@brianyoung3]

In English we say that a sauce is napping consistency if it coats the back of a spoon. The term nap is the same meaning as in French which I think refers to the act of spooning it over some food like a chicken breast so that it will coat it.

[@scottraber8497]

Why doesn't the lemon curdle the cream?

[@coumbadiakho4112]

Cool

[@krisinsaigon]

i was thinking recently, I've bought a lot of cream the last few months to make your recipes, and am i not sure there is anything i like the feel of and taste of in my mouth as much as i like cream

[@jimmydingo7138]

Love everything you do, Stephane! My daughter is watching your videos too, as well ww have started doing what you teach us every weekend now. One question though; is Cayenne Pepper commonly used in authentic French Cuisine?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

that’s really nice feedback 🙂🙂😄. yes cayenne pepper s used quite a lot actually

[@marcboissin70]

Why leaving the roux resting to get back to room temperature ? We wouldn’t have the same result with a hot roux ?

[@timvanlieshout8415]

Marc Boissin, with a roux, you always use a hot liquid wit a cold roux, or the other way around. It prevents lumps you can get from the flower

[@alanvonau278]

For those of you interested in a short summary (reminder) of Escoffier's five mother sauces in French cuisine, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauce#French_cuisine .

[@lesmurray2000]

Great presentation of a wonderful sauce. I like how you make these sauces so approachable. One small criticism is how you incorporated the stock into the roux - I believe you want to temper the stock so as to prevent lumps in the sauce. Add the stock little by little, whisking as you do, until the sauce is smooth and velvety. Then you can add the remaining stock without the risk.

[@PedroSilva-ln2iy]

It's ok if i add cheese in Supreme sauce?

[@pnwesty7174]

Nice. If you have leftover roasted chicken and sauce - what do you recommend for reheating the sauce?

to be reheated on low heat and if gets a bit too thick just some stock or cream 👨🏻‍🍳
