In the late 19th century, and early 20th century, the chef Auguste Escoffier consolidated the list of sauces proposed by Marie-Antoine Carême to four Grandes-Sauces-de-Base in Le guide culinaire.[13] They are:
In addition to the four types of great base sauces that required heat to produce, he also wrote that sauce mayonnaise, as a cold sauce, was also a Sauce-Mère (Mother Sauce), in much the same way as Sauce Espagnole and Sauce Velouté due to the number of derivative sauces that can be produced.[14]
In Escoffier's 1907 book A Guide to Modern Cookery, an abridged English version of his Le guide culinaire , it presented readers with a list of sauces[15] that have also come to be known as the Five Mother Sauces[16] of French cuisine:
Of his French language publications, both Le guide culinaire and his last book, Ma cuisine that was published in 1934, make no direct mention of Hollandaise as being a Sauce-Mère. Both titles do mention that Sauce Mayonnaise could be considered as a Sauce-Mère within their lists of cold sauces.[14] The 1979 English translation by Cracknell and Kaufmann of the 4th edition of Le guide culinaire also maintains similar wording.[17]
