Sauces Recipes

A sauce is a delicious way to bring together the different components of of a meal. The next time you eat out, inspect your plate. More likely than not, you'll find a sauce there - it's part of the reason restaurant food tastes better than home-cooked fare. When you're looking for sauce recipes, consider what you want your sauce to do. A rich, buttery <a href="/recipes/sauce/hollandaise/">Hollandaise</a> gives your eggs Benedict a luxurious note, while a sweet, tangy gastrique (a pared-down <a href="/recipes/sauce/sweet-sour/">sweet-and-sour sauce</a>) drizzled over your roasted chicken lends sophistication. Nowhere is this more evident than the world of <a href="/recipes/sauce/homemade-sauce/">pasta</a>. Spaghetti without sauce? No way. Fetticcini alfredo without the sauce? Useless! The best part is, many of them are easy to make once you know some basic techniques: Creating a rich pan sauce after sautéing meat is simply a matter of adding some wine and butter - and it takes less than 10 minutes.
