    Demi-glace sauce was invented by culinary legend Auguste Escoffier, and is a classical French sauce which is widely being integrated into different culinary practices all over the world.

    Demi-glace is made with two basic ingredients, namely espagnole and brown stock. There were many parallel recipes before Auguste Escoffier perfected it, and established it as an important ingredient in the cooking methods of classical French cuisine. Now, many people will be curious to know how to prepare espagnole and brown stock. Here is an explanation:

    • Brown Stock: Brown stock is basically thick and concentrated flavored water. Brown stock that is used for the preparation of Demi-glace mix, is usually made from veal or beef. Wine and mushrooms are also used to make the stock in some variants. Brown stock is also used to make meat-based soups.
