Mother sauces

[KateW]

Turns out the way I have always learned in school, BETHVD, which includes demiglace, is the list all the chefs are looking for when they ask "What are the 6 mother sauces?" Maybe you all don't agree, but it doesn't matter, in this case. I'm sure when I get out of school each chef, or person for that matter, will have his or her own list of mother sauces. Fine, whatever. I'm finally starting to learn that maybe a lot of things I'm learning in school are wrong to a lot of people in the business, but to the school it is right, and that's all that matters while I'm at that school. I can even narrow this down to specific chefs--discrepancies abound. But while I'm in a certain chef's class, what he says is gospel!

The Chinese also have at least one mother sauce, to my knowledge.
