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.”
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….
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
