1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.

I just wanted to point out that it should be spelled "sauce tomate". In french, a T is silent if it's at the end of a word. (Barring exceptions, because, you know, it's the fucking french language)
Original bechamel is made from veal stock.
The creator of that guide clearly didn't read the guide culinaire by Escoffier
Escoffier’s version includes veal, but it is made using milk. Page 21.

Gotta love that 4 of those sauces helped make French cooking the powerhouse it is today. Then there's tomato sauce. It's indispensable and nothing compares to it, which is probably why it was given such a plain name. It's begrudgingly accepted.
I don't get why people like any of them besides grand daddy tomato lol
You get hollandaise's name out your goddamn mouth. I would drink that sauce. Would it basically be drinking butter? Yes. Would I still do it? Absolutely

How can you even dislike béchamel ?
The new kid on the block that asked “why try so hard friends?”
How to make? I just mix all these ingredients in equal proportion and get a mother sauce?
Crafting table obviously
I’ve had an argument with a CEC about whether brown sauce or demi-glace is the mother sauce. Quote from Escoffier:
“[Demi-glace] is the base of all the other smaller brown sauces.”
He also says demi-glace is “Espagnole sauce having reached the limit of perfection.” It’s not crazy to say they’re the same sauce, just that one is actually done.
Functionally it’s true, you just don’t use brown sauce as an ingredient for much if anything other than demi. Or more commonly just buy the demi to save space and time.
No cayenne in the hollandaise seems like a terrible idea, even if it's by the book.
What's the French word for "Spanish Sauce" if "Espangole" is a completely different sauce?
Now I have a hankering for something with supreme sauce.
