...said that “Sauces are the splendor and glory of French cooking.” In culinary arts there are the basic five mother sauces, including; béchamel, veloute, espagnloe, hollandaise, and tomato. These mother sauces are used to make up other small sauces. The French mother sauces were originally four base sauces set forward by Antonin Careme in the 19th century. Careme’s four original mother sauces were Allemande, Bechamel, Veloute and Espagnole. A carefully constructed French sauce is usually developed in several stages and requires attention at each stage to balance all of the components. Some French sauces function to contrast while others help to extend or amplify intrinsic flavors. Throughout the history of cuisine; sauces have been used as a basis for many regional styles of cuisine. A sauce is defined as a liquid or semi-solid food served on or in the process of preparing other foods. Sauces are created to accompany other foods and make them look, smell, and taste better. They are easily digested and nutritionally beneficial. Sauces are not served by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, aromas, and visual appeals to a finished dish. Today there are many different compound or small sauces that can be seen worldwide, however these small sauces are linked to and are derived from the five classified mother sauces. Two French chefs that contributed to the creation of these fundamental sauces are, Marie-Antoine Crème; who was responsible for classifying the sauces into recognizable...

...centuries, the French cuisine also deals with great revolution over time. The chefs were always in search of new products and new aromas, and kept looking for new techniques (Cengage, 2003). 1. Definition Nouvelle cuisine is a French term which means “new cuisine”, which actually refer to an approach to cookery and food presentation used in French cuisine. Unlike classical cuisine, an older form of French haute cuisine which recognized with elaborate style of cooking and service, nouvelle cuisine in contrast, is characterized by lighter, more delicate dishes with an increased emphasis on presentation (Wikipedia, 2010). According to Larousse Gastronomique (2009), Nouvelle cuisine is a movement in cookery started in 1972 by two food critics, H. Gault and C. Millau, with the aim of encouraging a simpler and more natural presentation of food. The movement combined a publicity campaign with novel recipes and a new ethic, although the idea itself was not new. 2. History The term nouvelle cuisine has been used many times in the history of French Cuisine. For instance, the work of Vincent La Chapelle, Franҫois Marin and Menon in 1940s was described as nouvelle cuisine.

It’s Mum’s handwriting, and it’s a list – a very long list – of all the places we lived until I left home. I look at this list now, and there are just so many of them. My eye moves down the page, trying to take in her spidery scribble, and I soon lose track. These places mean very little to me: it’s funny how few of them I can remember. In some cases, I guess that’s because we were hardly there for more than five minutes. But in others, it’s probably more a case of trying to forget about them as soon as possible. When you’re unhappy in a place, you want to forget about it as soon as possible. You don’t dwell on the details of a house if you associate it with being afraid, or ashamed, or poor – and as a boy, I was often afraid and ashamed, and always poor. Life was a series of escapades, of moves that always ended badly. The next place was always going to be a better place – a...
