DERIVED SAUCES

includes a pandemonium of herbs and onions. In genuine
French parlance ravigote means a sauce made of certain
aromatic herbs; it is derived from the verb ravigoter, to
revive, to regain one’s strength. Thus, any sauce made of
refreshing green fine herbs would be a ravigote. If these
herbs were pounded and incorporated with butter, the pro-
duct would be a fourth variation, ravigote butter, and the
addition of such to other sauces may entitle them to be
termed co^npoicncl ravigote sauces. The herbs to be used in
all ravigotes are chervil, parsley, tarragon, chives, garden
cress, celery, balm, and, for green ravigote, spinach. Only
Dubois has onion in his modification, which is, however,
warm ; while of the others one is cold, and passes with that
adjective. As it is mayonnaise to which some ravigote has
been added, it should be termed mayonnaise ravigotde, or
green mayonnaise,
jhcrora Saxice is bechamel with a leason of egg-yolk. The
latter should be of the orange colour of black Spanish fowl
eggs. This sauce has two variations, determined by details
of no importance.
Maitre d’Hotel Sauces.
The surname of h la Maitre d’Hdtel is applied to several
preparations which must be kept distinct. The first is
Maitre d'Hotel Bictter or Gold Maitre d’Hdtel Sauce, which
consists of butter mixed with parsley, lemon-juice, salt, and
nutmeg. When this butter is gently warmed, and by
stirring made to assume the consistency of cream, it becomes
Maitre d Hotel Sauce. When the butter is incorporated over
the fire with an equal weight of bechamel sauce, we obtain
Compound Maitre d’Hotel Sauce. When the incorporation
of the butter is made with veloutd, we obtain the Maitre
d Hdtel Sauce lice. Made with espagnole it was dedicated
to Chateaubriand, when the French under his Ministry
invaded Spain in 1823.
