The five mother sauces are the basis of all classical sauces.
In the culinary world, "mother sauce" refers to five basic sauces, which are the starting points for many dishes.
Originating in French cooking, they're called mother sauces because each one is like the head of its own unique family.
A sauce is essentially a liquid plus some sort of thickening agent along with other ingredients. Each of mother sauces is made with a different liquid, and a different thickening agent.
The five mother sauces are 1. Béchamel, 2. Velouté, 3. Espagnole, 4. Hollandaise, and 5. Tomate. Join Chef Valerie in making all five sauces and get tips on how to use each sauce and how each mother sauce can be transformed into "small sauces" such as mornay sauce, Normany sauce, mushroom sauce, and Béarnaise Sauce.
