What is the definition of stock?
The word “fond” comes from the word “foundation”. Just as a foundation is a
base for a house, fond is the base for much of cooking. Almost every culinary
preparation requires a fond. For all practical purposes, “stock” and “fond”
have the same meaning.
1. White stock (Fond Blanc):
White stock/fond is made with white meat or beef, veal bones, chicken
carcasses, and aromatic vegetables.
The bones or meat are put in cold liquid and slowly brought to a boil.
The mirepoix (a flavouring base of diced vegetables is sweated in
suitable fat/pork fat) and then added to the liquid before it develops
any colour.
The mixture is reduced to a simmer to finish cooking.
This type of stock is used for white sauce, blanquettes, fricassee,
and poached dishes etc.
