I. Introductory Concept
Stocks are bases of many soups and sauces. What makes them different one another is
the consistency, seasoning, or flavoring used and the ingredients. Soups are liquid foods
consisting of the broth of meat, seafood or vegetables. They may be thin or thick; hot or cold.
Sauces are highly flavored and thickened liquid flavor over the food to provide coating. They
heighten the flavor of the food to enhance their appearance and make them easy to digest
Principles of Preparing Stocks
Stocks- are among the most basic preparations found in professional kitchen. They are
referred to in French as fonds de cuisine, or ―the foundation of cooking.” It is a flavorful liquid
prepared by simmering meaty bones from meat or poultry, seafood and/or vegetables in water
with aromatics until their flavor, aroma, color and body, and nutritive value are extracted.
- a clear, thin liquid flavored by soluble substances extracted from meat, poultry, and
fish; and their bones, and from vegetables and seasonings.

Ingredients in Preparing Stocks

1. Bones
Most of the flavor and body of stocks are derived from the bones of beef, veal, chicken,
fish, and pork. The kinds of bones used determine the kind of stock, except vegetable
stock.
2. Mirepoix
- is the French term for the combination of coarsely chopped onions, carrots and celery
used to flavor stocks.

Basic formula for Mirepoix

- used to flavor white stocks and soups, tomato paste or puree is often included for brown
stock, gravy, stew or soup.
 2 parts onion
 1 part celery
 1 part carrot
3. Acid Products
- Acid helps dissolve connective tissues, and extract flavor and body from bones.
4. Scraps and left-over
- Scraps may be used in stocks if they are clear, wholesome, and appropriate to the stock
being made.
5. Seasoning, Herbs and Spices
- Both spices and herbs are parts of plants (fresh or dried) that are used to enhance the
flavor of foods. Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem,
bulb, bark or seeds.
Examples of herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and mint.
6. Bouquet garnii
– assortment of fresh herbs and aromatic ingredients tied in a bundle with string so it can
be removed easily from the stock.
Guidelines for Preparing Stock
1. Follow the correct procedures for cooling and storing stock and make sure that any stock
you use is flavorful and wholesome.
2. Follow the cooking time for stock
The following are approximate cooking time for different stocks;
the time will vary according to numerous factors such as

Fish Stock 3 to 4 hours

Vegetables Stock 45 minutes to 1 hour,
depending on the specific
ingredients and the size of
vegetables cut

3. The stock ingredients are boiled starting with cold water. This promotes the extraction of
protein which may be sealed in by hot water.
4. Stocks are simmered gently, with small bubbles at the bottom but not breaking at the
surface. If a stock is boiled, it will be cloudy.
5. Salt is not usually added to a stock, as this causes it to become too salty, since most
stocks are preserved to make soup and sauces.
6. Meat is added to the stock before the vegetables and the ―scum‖ that rises to the surface
is skimmed off before further ingredients are added.
