Sauces

Sauces are flavorful liquid or semi-liquid additions used to complement and enhance the taste, texture, and visual appeal of dishes. They are crafted from a combination of ingredients like liquids (such as broth or cream), seasonings, herbs, spices, and other flavorings. Sauces serve various purposes: they can add moisture, balance flavors, or create a more complex profile. Common types include tomato sauce, creamy sauces like béchamel, and reductions like gravy. Used in many cuisines, sauces are essential for elevating dishes, providing depth, and offering a variety of flavor experiences.
