French chefs have used sauces since the Middle Ages. There were hundreds of sauces in the French chefs’ repertoire, and sauces were a particularly important and defining characteristic of classical French cuisine. By the 19th century, with the advent of nouvelle cuisine, the famous French chef Antonin Carême classified French cooking sauces into four families, each based on a grandes sauce, called a ‘mother sauce’. The four sauces are: Bechamel, Espagnole, Veloute, and Allemande.
