What is a sauce? Well, they are foods that are liquid, cream or semi-solid that are added to other foods, either during preparation or after serving, in order to add flavour, texture or moisture to a dish. Sauce itself is a word derived from the Latin salsa, which means salted, and salsa today is used to refer to a specific type of sauce.
Sauces date back over 2,000 years and vary tremendously in flavour, texture, ingredients, consistency and colour. They are an important part in cuisines all over the world and are used in both sweet and savoury dishes. They are used to dress vegetable dishes and are a common ingredient in pasta. Sauces can be made fresh, by the cook or chef, but many sauces today are purchased partially or wholly made. Partially made sauces are such as powders that are then added to a liquid, whilst those that are wholly made include popular bottled sauces such as ketchups.
