Understanding The Five French Mother Sauces - A Brief Overview

[@jgbailar]

I’m French and this is so much more insightful and accurate than any French content out there. Also way funnier.

[@abbyadda1]

that is very true. oh the beauty of speaking 2 languages ❤

[@Tuckerclan]

I am really excited to watch each video you make. I am a 55 year old male trying to be a better cook for my family. My mother was an excellent cook and I didn't pay enough attention when I was young. Thank you so much. You are making a big difference in my life.

[@recless8667]

I'm a 30 year old male trying to be a better cook for my family, and I completely agree with you on literally everything you just said. My sister was making stocks by the time she turned 18, I'm just now starting to appreciate the value of making a fresh stock; I've got a decade and a half of knowledge and practice to catch up on.

Thank you chef for the abundance of culinary arts knowledge ..im a new student in nyc attending a crash course this summer and so glad i found you when i was trying to understand the five "mother sauces," thank u n heading to your website now.

Most underrated cooking chanel . Chef thank you for everything. Greetings from Serbia.

[@TacTechMic]

Jacob, thank you so much for the information you provide here. I stumbled on this video on my search for culinary info (starting my first cook job soon and don't want to be without some sort of understanding), and have visited Stella Culinary School - through the first 3 podcasts and holding for now... Ordering a couple basic knives and a book. Tons of info and loving it. Thanks again! peace and love sent your way

[@JacobBurton]

Thank you. Good luck in your upcoming journey!

[@wurlitzer895]

Excellent! Thanks for this fascinating explanation.

[@MrPoffersher]

I'm super excited about all these new videos coming out. Stay cool Jacob.

[@JacobBurton]

***** Right on soop. Got lots more videos to come. I promise I've got a bunch of actual cooking videos coming too, but flavor structure and sauces is a concept I've wanted to tackle for quite some time now. After the next two lecture videos, I'll post a bunch of cooking ones as well.

[@MrPoffersher]

Awesome, I'm looking forward to them.

[@theshepherd2610]

First video, Instant sub. I am here for review. Your a great teacher, Chef.

[@dinotopher770]

Very good lesson thanks. You teach the same way I do. Recipes are pointless because they don't create an understanding of what you're doing. Understanding the "mother sauces" gives you the foundation that allows you to build anything you can imagine. Knowledge is Freedom..

[@lukongnobel2749]

Very easy to understand,thank you very much!!!

[@QuranSprouts]

According to the new video by "Alex - French Guy Cooking", Escoffier actually made Mayo a mother sauce - not Hollandaise. This was due to the the english translator changing the book

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

Well mayo, hollandaise and bearnaise sauces are all within a similar family. The constant is the emulsion of eggs. The oil for mayo, butter and lemon juice for hollandaise, and butter and tarragon vinegar for bearnaise are what changes the sauce. It’s the emulsion technique that’s represented.

[@alfred2g]

@t Hollandaise is not part of the monther sauces by Auguste Escofier, Mayonnaise is . @t Hollandaise replaced mayonnaise is due to an intentional miss-translation

[@JacobBurton]

Yeah, except Hollandaise has been taught as a mother sauce for the last 100 years, and it's technically more difficult to make than mayonnaise. So while Alex's video was interesting, it doesn't really change much, especially the fact that the Five French Mother Sauces has always been a flawed tool for teaching sauce making (even though every culinary school uses it), which is why I use the Three Modern Mother Sauces (a technique based approach) to teach my cooks sauce making: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4bciamFbrKEgM0

[@alfred2g]

@@JacobBurton Yeah was watching your video about the 3 new mother sauces (great videos btw) , and went through the links to find the 5 mother sauces one. I was so surprised when I was reading "Le Guide Culinaire" to make my own mayonnaise (in french), that hollandaise is stated as a sub-sauce, and mayo as a mother sauce. Later I saw Alex's video and article which were on point. I even checked french cooking sites and they state hollandaise as a mother sauce as well. (wikipedia mentions both stories which is good) Le Larousse Gastronomique states 14 mother sauces (both Hollandaise and Mayonnaise are included (hot and cold emulsion ) 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess the translator of "Le Guide Culinaire" got the last say in this :D

there is a mistake in the oral presentation. Bechamel is milk + white roux. The audio narration says it's white stock + white roux, even though it's written "milk + white roux" on the whiteboard.

[@bobsenior9805]

Shut the fuck up

[@8BitDuelist]

how do you make a white roux? and whats the difference from a brown roux

[@JacobBurton]

White roux is just cooked less. Search my channel for "roux." I have a video on it that walks you through the process and shows you all the stages.

[@fromnightowltoearlybird9243]

+Jacob Burton Can we substitute white wine with lemon juice? Hope you see this comment.

[@JacobBurton]

No. Lemon juice is much more sour. In a pinch, use water in place of the wine and add lemon to taste.

[@deveshuniyal4539]

Make a vid on oignon sauce bechamel based :-) :-) :-) :-)

[@pacerodi]

He didn`t mentioned it. Its called Beurre Blanc. You have to put through the "Pasoar", to remove the onion bit.

Its 18th/19th century for careme not 17th century. 17th would be 1600-1699

[@jman6587]

Only an American would talk about escoffier and Mac and cheese in same video

[@marygracevalera3119]

why do they call them five mother sauces? what is the simplest explanation on that? because you can make two or more sauces using one of them? am i correct?. please answer my question. because on my job interview last week? i am not able to answer their question about that because i really dont know the answer.

[@curlycookguy]

they are called the mother of sauces for they are the essential basic kinds of sauces. Yes, from each of the mother sauces you can make their derivations. For example you can make the allemande sauce from veloute sauce.

Where the hollandaise comes from

[@fan3871]

France, it’s called hollandaise after the dutch people (Holland) because of the big amount of butter used in the sauce. It’s basicly warm mayonaise hahah.

[@heyontv]

question : is mayonnaise a mother sauce? it makes other sauces such as tar tar sauce and cocktail sauce...

[@JacobBurton]

heyontv Some people will list it as a mother sauce, but others will argue that mayonnaise is simply a cold variation of hollandaise. But they're both egg based emulsions, so they're pretty similar from a technical view point. The five mother sauces that I listed in the video, Espagnole, Bechamel, Velout, Sauce Tomat, and Hollandaise, are the five mother sauces put forth by Escoffier, and the main ones taught in Western Culinary Schools.

[@Mixwell1983]

Man my last chapter was on stocks roux sauces n soups in my class. Feels like deja vu. Only difference text book wise was white roux is for bechamel, ivory or blonde was veloute and our chef/instructor (who mentioned) espagnole isnt use a lot (I don't know) currently made an amazing mushroom sauce with dark roux, beef broth, mirepoix, white wine and shrooms. Let me tell you oh my god was it amazing. I woulda eating on a broken used condom and been hAppy. Sorry just thought on dogshit was too overused but honestly the sauce was amazing

[@eddiespencer1]

So sausage gravy is essentially a bechamel? Where does au jus fit within this picture? Is it an espagnole even if it isn't roux-thickened?

[@notexactlyrocketscience]

most restaurants use stock cubes because its cheaper not because they can't do it i think. escoffier mustve hated german and spanish sauces being mother sauces for french cuisine

[@sharroon7574]

🤨 if I am paying for a meal I do not want stock cubes
