Four Great Sauces.

does not eat like an animal-he break
fasts, dimes and sups."
The French are particularly elo-
quent on the subject of sauces. Among
their famous chefs are recognized
four great sauces: Spanish. Veloute,
Bechamel and German. The Spanish
and Veloute were known as far back
as the seventeenth century. In the
eighteenth they were modified by the
masters of cookery. particularly by
Careme. who was called "the Raphael
of the Kitchen"
The Spanish sauce is composed OF
