Introduction

Healthy methods of cooking are those that do not require adding fat and
are quick cooking methods. Cooking vegetables by steaming in a pot or in the
microwave; grilling in a grill basket; boiling, or baking are all fat free methods of cooking
vegetables. Stir frying with a small amount of oil is yet another healthy way to cook
vegetables. These methods also allow nutrients to stay in the food instead of leaching
out into the water if you were to cook vegetables in a large pot of water for several hours.
Many vitamins and other valuable nutrients will leach into water when food
is cooked in large amounts of water. So if you want to preserve nutrient loss in your
foods the best cooking methods will be where a minimum amount of water is used or
no water is used.

Discussion

Sauce is a term used in cookery to describe a wide range of flavored

liquids that are served as part of the meal, or dish. The addition of a sauce to
a particular dish can transform the overall presentation of it.
Sauces come in a variety of styles and consistencies. They can be thick
or thin, rich and creamy, or light and delicate. Depending on the purpose,
sauces can be strongly flavored, hot and spicy, or even sweet to be served with
a dessert.
Accompaniments on the other hand are highly flavored seasonings of
various kinds offered with certain dishes. The purpose is to improve the flavor
of the food or to counteract its richness or texture.
Sauces are the height of a chef’s achievement requiring study and
practice to master. A great saucier must have a discriminating palate and the
ability to understand how to build a depth and harmony into a sauce.
The formal study of sauces usually begins with the classic French
sauces. Today, however, world influences from Asia, Latin America, Africa and
the Mediterranean, along with the public’s appetite for new and exciting tastes,
has driven sauces in many different directions, and brought an array of flavors
and endless possibilities to their preparation and pairing.
The French term sauce is derived from the Latin word salus which means
salted. For Italians and Spanish people, they call it salsa. Sauces are meant to
enjoy and compliment foods, and make them more interesting to eat. They pull
together different elements of a dish to compliment or provide a contrast in
flavors and textures. Some sauces like a classic demi-glace, take days to
prepare, while others, including vinaigrette can be made very quickly. Sauces
can be as simple as thickened pan juices, or as complex as a Mexican mole or
an Indian curry.
Sauce preparation used to involve a laborious and time consuming
commitment, and while this is still the case for preparation of classic French
sauces, the reality is that in today’s kitchen, very few operations prepare and

use them as originally intended. The reasons these sauces have grown out of
favour, include the changing preferences of chefs and the clientele they serve,
the time factor involved in their preparation, and the cost of producing them.
In today’s world, food cost economics, the desire for workplace efficiency, and
lack of skill have created convenience sauces, and shortcuts that produce
adequate results to time-tested methods that have evolved over centuries of
practice.

History of sauces

Records of sauces dating from around 200 AD and attributed to Apicius,

an authoritative text of cooking from ancient Roman, include highly seasoned
preparations of herbs, spices, vinegar, honey and a form of fermented fish
sauce called garum.
These sauces were usually prepared with a mortar and pestle and are
thickened with pounded rice, nuts or bread. From the Roman times up to the
Middle Ages, dating around the 14th century, European sauce preparation does
not appear to have changed much. Garum, a fish sauce gave way to vinegar
and verjus as a flavouring, and almonds on the other hand, were used to
thicken them. During the crusades, exotic spices from the Middle East came
into popular demand. Earlier in the 15th century, chefs began to learn about
the benefits of reducing sauces to concentrate flavors by simmering them on
the stove. They also learned about clarification and straining sauces to get
better texture and smoothness.

6 types of basic sauces

1. Mayonnaise – is a cold sauce made with eggs and olive oil. This is best
used as dressings for salads and also goes well with sandwiches and the
traditional fish and chips.
