Recipes
Chef Juliette
Suprême Sauce
The white, delicate crown of the velouté family: clear poultry stock and mushroom liquor reduced, poultry velouté stirred in, cream added little by little, and butter mounted at the last moment for a quiet gloss.
Chef Juliette
Venetian Sauce
Sauce Vénitienne turns disciplined reduction into brightness: shallot, white wine, and tarragon vinegar sharpen a silken base, while herb juice and fresh leaves give poached fish its vivid green finish.
Chef Juliette
Villeroy Sauce
Sauce Villeroy takes finished Allemande, truffle essence, and ham essence to a dense, savory gloss that grips a morsel, sets cleanly, and survives crumbing and frying.
Chef Juliette
Villeroy Soubisée Sauce
A Villeroy sauce reduced beyond pouring consistency, with onion-rich Soubise for body and black truffle when the morsel asks for it, ready to cloak, set, take crumbs, and meet the frying pan.
Chef Juliette
White Fish Stock
Fumet de poisson blanc turns sole or whiting bones, blanched onion, parsley, lemon, and wine into a pale, delicate foundation in twenty minutes. Cook it longer and you cook the savour straight out.
Chef Juliette
Villeroy Tomatée Sauce
Tomato deepens the classical Villeroy coating without loosening its grip: reduce patiently until the sauce clings in a thick, even mantle, ready for breading and frying à la Villeroy.
Chef Juliette
White Wine Sauce
Sauce au Vin Blanc takes three classical roads to the same ivory gloss: Velouté reduced with fumet and mounted with butter, or two Hollandaise-style emulsions built on fish essence.
Chef Juliette
Apple Sauce
Sauce aux pommes turns four plain ingredients into a softly cinnamon-scented companion for roast duck, goose, or hare. Covered gentle cooking is the whole technique: let the apples slump in their juices, then whisk.
Chef Juliette
Bread Sauce
Sauce au pain turns milk, fresh crumb, butter, and cream into an ivory velvet for roast fowl. The whole lesson is timing: draw the clove-studded onion before its perfume becomes the sauce.
Chef Juliette
Celery Sauce
Sauce au Céleri turns consommé-poached celery hearts into a silken purée, then balances it measure for measure with cream sauce, a quiet classical companion for boiled or braised poultry.
Chef Juliette
Cranberry Sauce
French sieve-work gives the holiday table its sharpest foil: cranberries cooked soft, pressed smooth, loosened cautiously with their own liquor, and sweetened only until their bright tartness stands beside roast turkey.
Chef Juliette
Fennel Sauce
A classical derivative in one clean gesture: scald the fennel, fold it into Butter Sauce (No. 66), and guard the gentle heat so mackerel meets a glossy sauce, never a broken one.
Chef Juliette
Egg Sauce with Melted Butter
A warm classical sauce of lemon-bright butter, bold cubes of hot hard-boiled egg, and scalded parsley, made in one pan and ready to spoon generously over poached fish or vegetables.
Chef Juliette
Scotch Egg Sauce
Sauce aux Œufs à l’Écossaise turns a properly cooked white roux, hot milk, nutmeg, and warm diced egg into the quiet classical partner for boiled haddock, cod, and salt cod.
Chef Juliette
Horse-radish or Albert Sauce
Sauce Albert turns the bite of fresh horseradish into a pale, glossy companion for roast beef, using consommé, butter sauce, cream, and a careful yolk liaison before mustard brings back the fire.
Chef Juliette
PARSLEY SAUCE
Sauce au Persil teaches the discipline of finishing: warm egg-and-cream butter sauce, parsley chopped at the last moment, and no boiling, so the texture stays silken and the green remains alive.
Chef Juliette
Fish Stock with Red Wine
Fumet de poisson au vin rouge draws matching fish bones, onion, garlic, thyme, and a bottle of red for half an hour, yielding the wine-dark foundation that gives matelotes their depth.
Chef Juliette
Reform Sauce
Sauce Réforme is the composed sauce of the Reform Club: glossy half-glaze and sharp poivrade carrying a short, fine julienne of tongue, truffle, mushroom, gherkin, and egg white over mutton cutlets.
Chef Juliette
Aioli Sauce, or Provence Butter
Aïoli is garlic pounded to silk, then bound with yolk and olive oil one patient drop at a time, an ivory-gold emulsion with enough force to anchor a long outdoor supper.
Chef Juliette
Andalouse Sauce
Sauce Andalouse teaches the discipline of every cold derivative sauce: begin with a stable emulsion, add deep tomato in measured stages, then fold in fine capsicum without sacrificing its clean gloss.
Chef Juliette
Bohemian Sauce
Sauce bohémienne turns cold Béchamel into the steady heart of a mayonnaise, enriched with yolk and oil, sharpened with tarragon vinegar, then finished with mustard for the cold table.
Chef Juliette
Genoa Sauce
Sauce Génoise is the cold emulsion that proves texture begins before oil: pistachios and pine nuts pounded to silk, built into mayonnaise, then sharpened with lemon and greened with four scalded herbs.
Chef Juliette
Gribiche Sauce
Hard-boiled yolks, mustard, and patient oil make sauce gribiche, a cool, softly textured emulsion sharpened with capers, gherkins, three herbs, and fine rods of egg white for cold fish.
