How to Make the 5 French Mother Sauces

In this video, I will walk you through how to make each of thee Five French Mother Sauces or Grand Sauces used in Classical French Cuisine. These sauces are very important to aspiring chefs, as it is one of the first topics discussed when attending Culinary School. The techniques used when making these sauces translate to every other type of cuisine and all other types of sauces. I go through the classical preparations, modern style sauces and practical uses for the home cook when making these sauces. The 5 Sauces are Bechamel, Veloute, Hollandaise, Tomato, and Sauce Espagnole.

SUCH a helpful video!! I love the way you explain things in a very approachable way. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@foodandcooking101]

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

[@ClarionMumbler]

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!

[@foodandcooking101]

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
