Sauces One of the important components of a dish is the sauce. Sauces serve a particular
function in the composition of a dish. These enhance the taste of the food to be served as well as
add moisture or succulence to food that are cooked dry. Sauces also enhance the appearance of a
dish by adding luster and sheen. A sauce that includes a flavor complementary to a food brings
out the flavor of that food. It defines and enriches the overall taste and its texture.
Sauce is a fluid dressing for poultry, meat, fish, dessert and other culinary products. Sauce
is a flavorful liquid, usually thickened that is used to season, flavor and enhance other foods. It
adds:
