Gourmet Chef Recipes: Mirepoix

About

Five mother sauces. Every classical sauce descends from one of them — and once you see the tree, you stop memorising recipes and start cooking from ratios. Mirepoix is the gourmet sauce book professional kitchens learn from, rebuilt for your phone. No account, no sign-up, works with the aeroplane mode on. THE SAUCE TREE Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Tomato and Hollandaise — each one opens into the sauces built on top of it. Tap Espagnole, see Bordelaise, Chasseur, Madeira, Robert. Tap Hollandaise, see Béarnaise, Choron, Maltaise, Mousseline. The relationships are the lesson. RATIOS, NOT JUST RECIPES Equal weights of butter and flour. One litre of stock to 60 g of roux. Three yolks to 250 g of clarified butter. Numbers small enough to hold in your head while both hands are busy. TECHNIQUE Why an emulsion breaks and how to bring it back with a spoonful of water. What nappe actually looks like on the back of a spoon. How to deglaze without bitterness. How to skim a stock clear instead of cloudy. Plating that isn't decoration — height, negative space, sauce placement, temperature. COOK MODE One step at a time, large type, screen stays awake. Built for a phone propped against a jar with flour on your hands. SCALE ANYTHING Change the number of servings and every quantity follows. Switch between metric and imperial in one tap — grams and millilitres, or ounces and cups, rounded to numbers you can actually measure. WHERE THE RECIPES COME FROM The classical French canon is in the public domain. Mirepoix is built on it — but every line of text in this app was written for this app: rewritten in plain modern English, converted to metric and imperial, and checked against what a home kitchen actually owns. No scraped blogs. No invented chefs, restaurants or dates. WHAT'S FREE The whole sauce tree, all five mother sauces, the recipe of the day and search — free, forever, no trial required.
