Sauces

Sauces complement a dish, adding flavor and texture, turning dry, unpalatable food into juicy, appetizing fare. The skill to prepare outstanding white sauce is one of the characteristics of a great cook.

Main meal

The main meal is the occasion when we get most of our allowance of nutrients for the day; early afternoon or early evening, call it lunch or dinner, it does not matter.

Cooked desserts

Fresh fruit is healthy, no doubt, however, there are celebrations and special occasions where munching a simple piece of fruit as dessert does not make justice to the event and the meal.

Soup and stock basics

Soups make an elegant and exciting first course for any meal. With a good base stock, some vegetables and meaty bones you can make a meal in a bowl and serve simply with fresh bread. Don't forget the best soups have a homemade stock base.
