          Wait! I need to change my first answer!! I was thinking about cakes, for some reason.

          I’ll agree with drchelo on that one – espagnole.

          No, wait. It’s Hollandaise!

              AAF, have you ever watched Hell’s Kitchen? I just love it – I once worked with a chef exactly like that guy.

              His most annoying saying: A clean kitchen is a happy kitchen.

                Reminds me of the major reason my nephew quit his summer job at McDonald’s. He was leaning up against a counter during a break in business, and his manager came up, handed him a mop, and said, “If ya got time to lean, ya got time to clean.”

                • At 2008.05.25 09:59, biscuit said:

                  Oh god, that one, too.

                  That’s a famous kitchen saying, heard in every reputable (or not) kitchen across America.

                  True though, a kitchen has to be clean, must be clean! I used to berate anyone who left a mess behind, still do….

                  • At 2008.05.25 10:35, biscuit said:

                    OMG!

                    You’ve got to watch Hell’s Kitchen. Such memories it brings back …

                  Okay I have a bone to pick on the first one. A Demi-glace falls under the ‘brown’ sauce as does the espagnole. Now if you had added bernaise, then I would’ve picked that one.

                  1. They are all grand sauces.
                  2. Tomato paste
                  3. deglaze
                  4. Carem because it’s not Escoffier or Bordelaise. Mother sauces have been around forever.
                  5. Salsa
                  6. liason
                  7. Black Butter
                  8. Coulis
                  9. Texas
                  10 Sauce for fish

                  I think I did MUCH better than my poor showing of yesterday!

                    Damn. An overachiever.

                    Well, there goes the curve.

                      AAF,

                      You did a diary about the grande sauces, didn’t you?

                        I can’t remember! I must have written thousands of diaries in the past, you bet there would have been one on the grand sauces ;.)
