The sauce is a liquid mass that matches well with the main ingredient - meat, fish or vegetables, in the dish. The purpose of the sauce is to enrich, enhance the taste of this ingredient or to make the dish more interesting due to the contrasting difference. The sauce can radically change the properties, taste and flavor of the product.
The products we eat every day - poultry, fish or beef, grains, peas, vegetables, pasta - are quite boring and sometimes tasteless and that is why for centuries people add various spices, salt, pepper, herbs, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, etc. to the dishes. The sauces are used in exquisite dishes. The chefs could give them any taste, consistency and color using various technologies. The widespread use of sauces in modern cuisine first began in Europe, namely in France. A group of chefs developed and transformed the preparation and use of sauces into art and implemented a standard in the restaurant industry.
However, there are also recipes for sauces that are centuries old and are very popular in countries that are very far from their countries of origin. Sauces prepared on the basis of Chinese soy, Mexican salsa, Indian curry, Roman pesto, etc. are popular all over the world
