It is to the production of the
perfect stocks that the
sauce cook should devote
himself
Auguste Escoffier, Le Guide Culinaire, 1921, Mayflower Books:
New York

In fact the introduction of roux into
French cookery by the Spanish
cooks of Anne of Austria must
have passed almost unnoticed so
insignificant was their role at the
time the stocks being sufficient
in their own right.
