An Accidental Stroke of Genius
"Consider beurre blanc, the lusciously silky classic French sauce. It was supposedly invented by Clémence Lefeuvre in the town of Saint-Julien-de-Concelles in the Loire Valley when she forgot to add egg yolks and herbs to sauce bearnaise, thus producing a rich, buttery emulsion of wine, vinegar, shallots, and plenty of butter. She became a legend in her own time, and the birthplace of beurre blanc, Restaurant Clémence, is still open, and is also a MICHELIN-Selected restaurant." - MICHELIN Guide Thailand
