Sauce is one of the things that separate the great cooks from the good ones. You do not have to be a trained chef to be a modern sauce master. Bechamel Sauce (The mother of all white sauces), Veloute Sauce (dinner will seem fancier) White Bordelaise Sauce (delicious with roasted fish or chicken) Hollandaise Sauce (one of the world’s great sauces) Mayonnaise (Homemade mayonnaise has a silkiness, an elegance, that you won’t find in any commercial preparation) Béarnaise Sauce (turns a plate of simple vegetables or grilled meat into a special occasion) Tomato Barbecue Sauce (Layers of flavor created by orange juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar and spices)
