Sauces are the culinary workhorse of the food world. They add colour, a concentrated burst of complementary or contrasting flavour, and texture to everything from salads and pasta to meat and fish.
Savoury
or sweet, hot or cold, thin or thick, a topping or a mix-in, sauces
have crossed cultural borders and are part of virtually all major
cuisines. And sauces and soup products are flying off store shelves as
consumers look for ways to enhance recipes.
