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.

Now I have a hankering for something with supreme sauce.
How to make? I just mix all these ingredients in equal proportion and get a mother sauce?
Crafting table obviously
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
How can you even dislike béchamel ?
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

The new kid on the block that asked “why try so hard friends?”
What, no mayonnaise‽
No cayenne in the hollandaise seems like a terrible idea, even if it’s by the book.
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.
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)
What’s the French word for “Spanish Sauce” if “Espangole” is a completely different sauce?
