Louie Doell was the first customer at the new Weston County Pharmacy on Monday, April
6 at 727 A Washington Blvd. located next to Weston County Health Services Home Health
Office. The pharmacy is part of Weston County Health Service's effort to provide a wider
range of services to local customers and create additional revenue streams to help support
operation of the hospital. WCHS is also planning a major renovation and voters will be
asked to support a tax measure to pay for it on May 5.
Something saucy
Sauces are an essential element in cuisines
all over the world. French cookbooks literally
list hundreds of sauces. The extensive list was
consolidated to just five, which forms the foun-
dation for many other sauces in French cuisine
and hence the term "mother" sauce. A sauce
made by adding flavoring to a basic mother
sauce is a "sister" sauce. A sauce is flavored
liquid plus a thickening agent. By varying the
combination of liquid, flavoring and thickening
agent, the possibilities are
endless.
Sauces add flavor,
moisture, and visual
appeal to another dish.
Master the making of
roux (roo) and you will
have a variety of French
sauces at your finger-
Vicki l tavman tips. Roux is cooking fat
Extension and flour together before
Notes adding in the liquid for
thickening. The fat used
is normally butter, but oil
or other fats can also be used. The fat and flour
cook together to cook out some of the floury,
pasty flavor in the flour. Cook the mixture 5
minutes for white, 20 minutes for blond, or 35
minutes for brown roux. The darker the roux,
the nuttier the flavor. When the liquid is added
to roux, the flour thickens the liquid and you
end up with sauce.
The 5 French "Mother Sauces" 1.
B6chamel (bay-sha-mel). Also known as a
white sauce, this is white roux whisked with
milk or other dairy. The flavoring is up to you,
although the French like to add salt and pepper
while the Italians like to throw in a pinch of
nutmeg. Another traditional flavoring option is
to steep the milk with a whole onion that has
been studded with several cloves, and a bay leaf
before combined with the roux.
B6chamel is quite bland, which is why it is
usually cooked with other ingredients and not
used as a finishing sauce. B6chamel is classi-
cally served with eggs, fish, steamed poultry,
veal, steamed vegetables, and pastas.
The sister sauces include:
Mornay = b6chamel + Gruyere + Parmesan
+ butter
Cheese = b6chamel + cheddar +
Worcestershire sauce + dry mustard
Soubise = b6chamel + onions + butter
2. Velout6 (vuh-loo-tay). It's made similar to
a b6chamel, stock replaces the milk. A velout6
is a blond roux whisked with chicken, turkey,
fish, or any other clear stock. The resulting
sauce takes on the flavor of the stock, and
the name is derived from the French word for
velvet, which describes this delicate sauce.
Commonly the sauce produced will be referred
to by the type of stock used, for example,
chicken velout6.
Velout6 is classically served with eggs, fish,
steamed poultry, steamed vegetables, and pastas.
The sister sauces include:
Allemande = veal/chicken velout6 + liaison
Bercy = velout6 +shallots + white wine +
fish stock + butter + parsley
Normandy = fish velout6 + fish stock +
mushrooms + liaison
Supreme = chicken velout6 + cream
3. Espagnole (es-puhn-yohl). Commonly
known as brown sauce, this rich sauce is made
using beef or veal stock, tomato puree, and
mirepoix (meer-pwah) which is a combina-
tion of diced carrots, celery, and onions, all
thickened with a very dark brown roux. If
you've heard of demi-glace (deh-mee-glass),
it's nothing more than equal parts of espagnole
sauce and brown stock that has been reduced by
half for an even more flavorful sauce.
Espagnole is rarely served on its own due
to the strong flavors. Espagnole is classically
served with roasted meats like beef, veal, lamb,
and duck.
The sister sauces include:
Bordelaise = demi-glace + red wine + shal-
lots + bay leaf + thyme + black pepper
Chateaubriand = demi-glace + mushrooms +
shallots + lemon juice + cayenne pepper + tar-
ragon + butter
Madeira = demi-glace + madeira wine
Mushroom = demi-glace + mushroom caps
4. Hollandaise (hol-uhn-dehz). This is the
one mother sauce not thickened by a roux.
Hollandaise sauce is an emulsion of butter and
lemon juice or vinegar using egg yolks as the
emulsifying agent (to bind the sauce), usually
seasoned with salt and black pepper or cayenne
pepper. Heat control is essential here to prevent
curdling of the sauce and therefore usually done
in a double boiler.
Hollandaise sauce is classically served with
eggs (Eggs Benedict), vegetables (especially
asparagus), light poultry dishes, and fish.
The sister sauces include:
B6arnaise = hollandaise + shallots + tar-
ragon + chervil + peppercorns + white
wine vinegar
Chantilly = hollandaise + whipped heavy
cream
5. Tomate (toe:maht). Sauce tomate, better
known as tomato sauce, is a French Mother
Sauce based on tomatoes. A roux is tradition-
ally used in making a tomate sauce but many
chefs skip it because the tomatoes themselves
are enough to thicken the sauce. This sauce is
made with salted pork belly, onions, bay leaves,
thyme, tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, and
roux. Leave out the pork belly and roux to make
a standard tomato sauce. Tomate sauce is classi-
cally served with pasta, fish, veal, poultry, veg-
etables, polenta, breads, and dumplings such as
gnocchi.
The sister sauces include:
Milanaise = tomate sauce + mushrooms +
butter + cooked ham
Creole= tomate sauce + onion + celery +
garlic + bay leaf + thyme + green pepper + hot
sauce
Spanish = creole sauce + mushrooms + olives
I hope you're excited to build your sauce rep-
ertoire! As Julia Child eloquently summed up:
,Sauces are the glory and splendor of French
cooking."
