Some Star Sauces from Traditional French Cuisine

Here are a few timeless recipes deeply loved in my country. First of all there is the ubiquitous Mayonnaise, then lightest of sauces, Béarnaise, and next their strongly-flavoured country cousin Beurre Blanc. L’Américaine, with its primitive taste, comes straight from the sea, and last, sensual and earthy, is Sauce Périgueux.
