Mother sauces, also known as grand sauces, are the foundation sauces in classical French cuisine. There are five mother sauces, which are:

1. Béchamel: A white sauce made from a roux (butter and flour) and milk. It is often used as a base for creamy sauces and soups.

2. Velouté: A light sauce made from a roux and a light stock, such as chicken or fish stock. It is often used as a base for creamy sauces and soups.

3. Espagnole: A brown sauce made from a roux and brown stock, typically beef or veal stock. It is often used as a base for rich, flavorful sauces and gravies.

4. Tomato: A tomato-based sauce made from tomatoes, vegetables, and seasonings. It is often used in pasta dishes, pizzas, and as a base for other sauces.

5. Hollandaise: A rich, creamy sauce made from butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice. It is often used as a topping for eggs Benedict, vegetables, and fish.

These mother sauces can be used as a base for a wide variety of other sauces by adding additional ingredients and seasonings.
