    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Breading food serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it helps to retain moisture in the food, preventing it from drying out during cooking. Secondly, the breading acts as a protective layer, keeping the food and any added fat from direct contact with the cooking surface. This helps to prevent burning and ensures even cooking. Lastly, breading promotes crispness and enhances the appearance of the food, providing a desirable texture and visual appeal. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above".

    A. A secondary stock
    Explanation
    A remouillage is a secondary stock. In culinary terms, a stock is a liquid made by simmering ingredients such as bones, vegetables, and herbs in water. A secondary stock, like a remouillage, is made by reusing the bones and ingredients from a previous stock and simmering them again to extract more flavor. This process allows for maximum flavor extraction and is often used in professional kitchens to reduce waste and create rich, flavorful stocks.

A blond roux is made by cooking flour and butter together until it turns a light golden color. This mixture is then combined with the white stock to create a veloute sauce. The variations in spelling (blond roux, blonde roux, lond oux, Blond Roux) are all acceptable and refer to the same ingredient.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "blond roux, blonde roux, Blond Roux, lond oux". In the context of making tomato sauce, a blond roux is a mixture of equal parts fat (usually butter) and flour that is cooked until it reaches a light golden color. It is used as a thickening agent in sauces and soups, and in this case, it is added to the tomato and stock to create a rich and flavorful sauce.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    White roux is cooked ____ minutes.

    • 1-2

    • 3-4

    • 4-5

    Correct Answer
    A. 1-2
    Explanation
    White roux is cooked for 1-2 minutes. This is because white roux is made by cooking flour and butter together until they form a smooth paste. Cooking it for 1-2 minutes is usually enough to remove the raw taste of the flour and achieve the desired pale color. Overcooking it for longer periods of time can cause the roux to darken and develop a nutty flavor, which is more suitable for making a brown roux.

  • 12. 

    What is the difference between a white stock and a brown stock?

    • In a brown stock the bones are roasted first

    • A brown stock is made from beef bones while a white stock is made from chicken bones

    • In a brown stock the vegetables are browned first

    • A brown stock is made from veal bones while a white stock is made from fish bones

    Correct Answer
    A. In a brown stock the bones are roasted first
    Explanation
    In a brown stock, the bones are roasted first. This process of roasting the bones adds a rich, deep flavor and color to the stock. Roasting the bones caramelizes the natural sugars in the bones, resulting in a darker, more flavorful stock. This is different from a white stock, where the bones are not roasted and the stock remains lighter in color and flavor.

This means that for every 1 part of egg yolk, you need to add 3 parts of the cream. The cream helps to create a smooth and creamy texture while the egg yolk adds richness and helps to bind the ingredients together.

Cooking it for 3-4 minutes allows the flour to cook and removes the raw taste, while still maintaining a light color. Cooking it for longer than 4 minutes may result in a darker roux, which is used for different recipes.
