4 Purees Every Chef Should Know
Great purees are not just about blending. The real work happens before the blender. Proper cutting, gentle cooking, moisture control, and seasoning are what create a smooth, concentrated puree with real depth of flavor.
Chef Will from @roerestaurant demonstrates four classic vegetable purees used in professional kitchens.
Carrot & Ginger Puree
Finely grate carrots so they cook quickly and evenly. Sauté in olive oil until slightly softened, then add ginger, carrot juice (or water), a touch of sugar, and salt. Cover with a cartouche and simmer gently for about 35 minutes until the carrots are completely soft and reduced. Blend until perfectly smooth.
Brown Butter Cauliflower Puree
Brown butter until it develops a nutty aroma, then add finely chopped cauliflower. Sauté until evenly golden and season with salt. Add cream and cook gently until the mixture reaches a porridge-like consistency. Blend with Parmesan for a rich, silky puree.
Beetroot Puree
Cook beetroot slowly in water with the skin on to preserve color. Peel while warm, chop, and sauté lightly. Add a touch of port or red wine, vinegar, and a few ladles of beet cooking liquid. Cover with a cartouche and cook until soft and jammy before blending.
Courgette & Herb Puree
Sauté sliced courgette on high heat with oil and salt. Add microplaned garlic and fresh basil, cook until tender, then blend. Pass over a bowl set on ice to preserve the vibrant green color.
A key technique here is the cartouche. It allows gentle evaporation while keeping vegetables evenly moist, helping concentrate flavor without drying the ingredients.
In professional kitchens, a well-made puree is about balance: controlled reduction, proper seasoning, and blending only once the vegetable is fully softened.
Save this technique.

Today we want to share with you the famous chef Joel Robuchon’s potatoes #purée ⭐️ To make his signature dish, you only need four ingredients: potatoes, milk, butter and salt 😋
Check out the recipe by our @micheleghedo 🧑🏻🍳
👉INGREDIENTS
1Kg potatoes
salt
500g butter
500ml milk
👉METHOD
1. Boil the potatoes, and cook until a knife slips in the potatoes easily and cleanly, about 30 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and peel them. Put them through a potato ricer into a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and dry the potato flesh out a bit by turning it vigorously with a spatula for about 5 minutes
3. Add the butter and the milk stirring it in energetically for a smooth, creamy finish.
4. Add salt.
5. For an even lighter, finer purée, put it through a very fine sieve before serving.

I’ve been using this tomato and garlic purée for my pores, and while it’s super effective for my skin, I get it— the smell can be a bit uncomfortable for some. But hey, the benefits are totally worth it!
