  • Chapter – 3 SAUCES Sauces Are Liquids Or Semi Liquid Mixtures. A
    Chapter – 3 SAUCES Sauces are liquids or semi liquid mixtures. A keen sense of smell, delicate sense of taste, a light, strong hand for the blending, all contribute to the perfect sauce. Long ago, Grimande de la Royere, philosopher and gastronomer wrote: “the sauce is to culinary art, what grammar is to language.” A perfect sauce has a colorful appearance, is glowing in its rich smoothness, its texture is that of velvet, and it has a natural flavor and complements the food it accompanies, rather than mask its taste. It provides moisture, color and shine to food. Importance of sauces in food preparation 1. Enhances flavor. 2. Some sauces help in digestion, example mint sauce and apple sauce with roast pork. 3. It gives moistness to the food, white sauce adds creaminess to firm and dry food. 4. Adds color to food, hollandaise sauce served on vegetables adds color. 5. Served as an accompaniment, sometimes gives a contrast taste to another food, example cranberry sauce with roast pork. 6. Sometimes gives name to the dish, example Madeira wine when added to brown sauce, it is called sauce Madeira. 7. Enhances nutritional value of the dish. 8. Dresses and compliments food that need some additional quality and makes the food more palatable, example Chaufroid sauce is used to coat various food items, and gives a god appearance. 9. Gives tartness and contrasts or balances a bland food, example Devil sauce served with eggs give appealing tartness. 3.1 Classification and uses of Sauces Sauces Basic/Mother Butter Dessert Miscellaneous Proprietary Hot Cold Shrimp Chocolate Apple Worcestershire Anchovy Melba Mint Chilly Garlic Custard Horseradish Soya Béchamel Mayonnaise Colbert Tabasco Veloute 8 to 8 Espagnole Hollandaise (warm) Tomato 3.2 Composition of Sauces 1.

  • Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
    TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.

PREFACE The prevailing custom among the best hotels and restaurants of printing their menus in French has resulted in a continually increasing number of guests who demand of the waiter a descrip- tion of a dish before ordering it. The waiter frequently guesses, often wide of the mark, and the result is a disappointed and dissatisfied guest, or the waiter Toothers a too busy chef whose des- cription is necessarily l^rief, hurried and incom- plete. The latter way consumes a waiter's valu- able time and tries the patience of a hungry and waiting diner. , \ My aim, therefore, in compiling this bool^ has been to supply head waiters and waiters with immediate, accurate and sufficiently detailed in- formation to enable them to quickly ^furnish a patron with a satisfactory descriptioii^oi any dish /^ on the menu.

  • FRENCH MOTHER SAUCES: Béchamel
    FRENCH MOTHER SAUCES: Béchamel - white sauce or cream sauce Demi-glace - reduced and fortified brown meat sauce Espagnole - basic brown meat sauce Hollandaise - sauce made with egg yolks and melted butter served warm Mayonnaise - sauce made with egg yolks and oil, served cold Tomato sauce Velouté - white sauce made with veal, chicken or fish stock thickened with roux. The variation are endless and once the rigid classification is no longer adhered to. In many cases the classic French sauces have been replaced by reduced meat, fish or vegetable stocks, or by purees called coulis, or by quick sauces made with concentrated ingredients such as beurre blanc, which is a delicate blend of shallots cooked with white wine and vinegar, cream and fresh butter. There are many bottles and canned sauces on the market, and there is no clear distinction between canned sauces and condiments. Béchamel Sauce Classic French sauce, considered one of the mother sauces. Also known as white sauce. Flour is cooked with fat, normally butter and oil without browning, mixed with milk and boiled until thick. Chefs invented many ways to flavor the basic sauce, such as adding onions and cloves to the milk, or even adding veal stock. However, the basic purpose of the sauce is to be mixed with other food and flavors when used. The sauce is named after Marquis de Nointel Béchamel, gourmet and gourmand during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. Demi-glace French classical mother sauce. It is a brown sauce, made with beef and veal bones, and reduced until shiny, concentrated and flavorful.

Team regional foods and cheeses with local beers and ciders for a truly distinctive offering. And remember to consider regionalising your children’s menu too. Think beyond the chicken nugget! The following menus are intended to give you some ideas for making your menu regionally distinct. This may be by including traditional dishes on your menu (and some are mentioned to get you going) or by increasing the emphasis of provenance on your existing menu. Why not mention the breed of sheep used for your roast lamb or the farm on which it was raised? What about mentioning the variety of apple you use or the name of your cheese producer? Specifying provenance on your menu will help make it more distinctive. Did you know £34 billion each year is now being spent on eating out in the UK?
