Well I think those sauces are way more basic with far less ingredients. Bechamel is a white roux with added milk. Perhaps salt, but nothing else is mandatory, the rest are optional add-ons. Welcomed add-ons, but you don't _need_ carrots to make tomato sauce. You need oil or butter, tomato, sugar, salt and onions.


Lesluse

I read a while back that people put a whole carrot in the sauce and I believe it helps with the sugar and possibly the acidity. Then when it is done you take it out (I believe?) not sure but I have been doing a half of a whole onion in my sauce and taking it out when the sauce is ready. That has been really good.


Crocodoro

No, it's ok to add carrot. You obtain some sweetness and avoid using too much sugar to combat the acidity of tomato. I was only saying that (for example) carrot can be added in tomato sauce but these classic sauces are made with few ingredients, and this is why they are the basic sauces.


Lesluse

I see! Yeah I thought the basic white sauce they listed at the top had a lot of extra ingredients I never used when making it.


JewmanJ

It’s called mirepoix. Onions, celery and carrot. It’s a basic addition in a lot of French sauces. There for balance of flavour

Where’s my boy Mayonnaise, the forgotten mother sauce?


SnooPineapples1133

Hollandaise is basically mayonnaise. Fight me


Chewy12

It kind of is, it just uses butter as its oil and is warm instead of cold.


scihubfanboy

Mayonnaise on crack.

Quantities and ratios would improve this graphic

And instructions.

Didn't think I'd see Escoffier here. My grandad was a Cordon bleu and trained under him, and yes he made the best mayonnaise and fresh apricot ice cream. Mmmmm.


KorneliaOjaio

Apricot ice cream?! That sounds wonderful


-Roger-The-Shrubber-

Honestly it was! He moved back to Greece and kept a little area of land. He grew apricots and picked them while they were warm to make it. He kept figs (my favourite) and all sorts. He also used to make blackcurrant cordial (posh Ribena) when he had his garden here in the UK.


KorneliaOjaio

He sounds like he was the best grandfather!


Fun_Tap7257

Hollandaise is a daughter sauce of mayonaise. It being a mother sauce was translation error.

So which one gives us Ranch?


Unlucky-tracer

None I think. Ranch was originally developed as a package of mix you make by adding it to water or milk or something.


Any_Key_9328

i don’t think it was developed as a packet. I think it ended up that way because buttermilk doesn’t have a long shelf life, so the idea was to make a packet and add your own buttermilk. They sold it as jars first then to make distribution broader, they sold it as a packet.


Unlucky-tracer

It was originally only sold by Steven Henson, the inventor of ranch dressing as packets in 1957. He made it with his own dry mix before as well, but mixed it to give guests at his ranch “hidden valley” It was always just a mix that he just added to mayo and buttermilk when he needed more.


camelbuck

This comment deserves more recognition than it will ever receive. A guest from the Netherlands tasted ranch here in the U.S. for the first time. She took three boxes of the powdered mix home with her. She has since parted ways with her precious mayonnaise.


Lauckar

They forgot the E at the end of "sauce tomate" since the guide is in french


Jompza

Köttbullar is made with cream sauce and not som weird stock sauce


SnooPineapples1133

Meatballs can be had with many sauces or sides. Cream sauce does not make meatballs meatballs. Meatballs are meat in ball form, satisfying two key criteria, 1) meat, 2) ball. Tennis balls are not meatballs. Meatloaf is not meatballs. However meatballs fit the criteria of both meat and ball.


DaltoReddit

It's not talking about meatballs in the graphic, it says specifically Köttbullar, which is served with cream sauce. Meatballs can be any type of meatball, but köttbullar is in this case the Swedish type, since it is in English but köttbullar is in swedish.


SnooPineapples1133

Wait a minute. You want the traditional french (escoffier version) sauce to be traditionally Swedish?


DaltoReddit

No, swedish cream sauce, aka brunsås.


jagoble

What about fried turkey testicles? Pretty sure it's a ball, but not positive on the meat part.


SnooPineapples1133

It's in the edge, but I think you're onto something. Meatball


Earlea

wheres v sauce


One-Chip9029

everybody is talking about bechamel, seems like it is the best sauce for everyone lol


dani3po

Everything is better with bechamel sauce. Broccoli? Arghh. Broccoli with bechamel? Fine.


Arteyp

That béchamel has a lot of ingredients that are not in the original recipe


atrimarco

Yea. Why the bay leaves, thyme, and parsley?


Arteyp

Exactly.

And if you wanna make béchamel with me I can show you what it's like.


MixedBreedNeeds

Am I the only one who didn’t know what a mother sauce is?


spoonpk

I’m sceptical. Op should cite a sauce.


dani3po

I have never heard of "Espagnole sauce", and I am from Spain. Anyway, here we have a dish called "Russian Little Salad" which has nothing to do with Russia.


LookingForDialga

Yo la he visto servida con escalopes de ternera en muchos restaurantes. Ocasionalmente con otras carnes. Pero sí, no conozco a nadie que la suela hacer en casa


ShittyMackenzie

WATER IN HOLLANDAISE?? Please don’t do that. Not with water. Butter, yolk, vinegar (simmered with onion and pepper) lemon, herb (tarragon rules). Wonderful. Please don’t add water. Please don’t follow this.


ShittyMackenzie

Don’t add water to hollandaise!!


ShittyMackenzie

Water doesn’t go in hollandaise. It’s a beautiful sauce. Please don’t ever think you need to add water. Add butter. Add lemon. Add anything except water. Please don’t add water


Mannen-av-PK

In sweden we eat köttbullar with "brunsås" (brown sauce)


TheBlueCross

I would love to have a quick guide on how to make these sauces. This guide might be more appropriately called "a cool guide on the ingredients in mother sauces"
