In this sense, each sauce will have its own characteristics. Sauces are thickened liquid foods, prepared through a slow and careful cooking process, in order to concentrate to the maximum the flavors, smells, nutritional and gelatinous elements of the ingredients that constitute it.

History of Sauces

The most aromatic and refined flavors arrive with French cuisine and Marie-Antoine Carême. This gourmet comes to make an important contribution to the history of sauces and systematized cuisine: he investigated and classified the different sauces into four families: espagnole, velouté, allemande and béchamel, building the renowned "French system of sauces" from these four mother sauces.

Mother sauces

Those were the 4 mother sauces of the kitchen, until at the dawn of the 20th century, chef Auguste Escoffier replaced some sauces and added a new one to the list. Since then the list of the 5 mother sauces of Escoffier is the one that is taken as valid. You will notice that there are 6 in the list, it is that the hollandaise sauce and mayonnaise came to replace the German sauce, while the Pomodoro tomato sauce was incorporated. Some authors consider that mayonnaise cannot be included as a mother sauce since it is practically the same as hollandaise but butter is substituted for oil.

Spanish sauce

it is a dark background (bone of animal origin) mixed with a roux and fortified with bacon, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. This sauce takes its name since it first appeared at the wedding banquet of Luis XIII and Ana de Austria, a sauce with meat that lacked a name and that was made by some Spanish chefs who captivated the palates of the monarch who decided to baptize it with the name of Spanish Sauce in honor of those cooks who prepared it.

Tomato sauce (Pomodoro)

Velouté sauce

Velouté is a light sauce that is made up of a broth (called a light background, which can be poultry or veal, even a fish stock), all mixed with a roux (it can be white or blond). For example, a bird velouté would be made up of a bird background and a blond roux. It is a mother sauce, so it can be used as a base for other sauces in French cuisine. Fish velouté is called “lean velouté” and that made with veal is generically called “fat white sauce.” The generally dense appearance of this sauce means that it is sometimes referred to as a cream.

Bechamel sauce

This sauce is undoubtedly the most used in the gastronomic world, its base is milk and linked with a roux, seasoned with onion, cloves, salt, white pepper and nutmeg.
The bechamel is used to thicken the cooking juices of stews and roasts and thus turn them into creamy sauces. It also allows to give a bound and creamy finish to soups called "creams", such as cream of mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, etc.

Hollandaise sauce

Hollandaise Sauce is obtained from the emulsion of egg yolks as an emulsifying agent and clarified butter with lemon juice or vinegar that is usually seasoned with salt and white pepper. It is a sauce of great difficulty since it is necessary to control the clarification of the butter very well so that it does not have impurities and control its temperature so that the yolks do not cook but that they do not remain raw either. It is very delicate and its conservation does not exist and should be consumed immediately.
