Hollandaise was not of the original four mother sauces Escoffier documented. Hollandaise is now the fifth mother sauce in addition to Bechamel, Espagnole, Veloute, and Tomato.
Mother Sauces are also referred to Leading Sauces, due to the amount of smaller sauces you can make out of them.
Georges Auguste Escoffier. Escoffier was the chef who created the brigade system and bridged the gap between practical cooking and the haute cuisine of his predecessors, such as Marie-Antoine Carême.
a french chef, who started out as a commis sauce-chef and rose throught the ranks. he is well know for his inventions of rescipes, improving the working life of chefs, and redering menus simple but attaritive. In more detail... Escoffier created the kitchen brigade system so that there was an exact position for everyone in his kitchen and there was no wasted time. He strived for a clean and organized kitchen. This brigade system is still in use today. For example, Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef, Saucier, etc. Escoffier also created the first a la carte menu allowing the food service at that time to not have as many courses.
Georges Auguste Escoffier was central to the development of modern French cuisine, also known as haute cuisine. He was a chef, restaurateur, and writer.
The role of the brigade system is to organize a production kitchen so that duplicate work is not being done yet all jobs that need to be done are being done. Escoffier's brigade system is still in operation, the "modern" brigade should still exist as Escoffier's original system. Obviously if your kitchen is smaller and all titles are not needed, combine them into a workable system for you.
The modern sauces are the four classical sauces plus mayonnaise, making it Brown Sauce, Veloute, Tomato Sauce, and Bechamel (plus mayo, of course). Careme came up with the classic four in the 1800s and Escoffier and the mayo in the first couple decades of the 1900s. There are purists who discount the mayo. The majority accept 5 mother sauces, including 99% of the French chefs.
In the early 20th century, the chef Auguste Escoffier updated the classification (5), replacing sauce Allemande with egg-based emulsions (Hollandaise and mayonnaise), and adding tomate. Escoffier's schema is still taught to chefs today: * Béchamel * Espagnole * Hollandaise * Tomato sauce * Velouté
