Sauce recipes everyone will beg for! 3D 3D 3D  [ILC Spotlight](3D) June 21, 2021  [16 Sauce Recipes Everyone Will Beg For](3D) A good sauce can turn a good meal into a miracle, and these are some favorites! Now you can learn everything you need to start making delicious sauces right in your own kitchen. From the digital cookbook: [16 Sauce Recipes Everyone Will Beg For](3D) [Subscribe now.](3D) Dear Home Cook, Patience is a virtue in the kitchen – especially with sauces! In a French kitchen, the saucier commands the kitchen. The saucier I worked with in France was in charge of finishing every plate with the right sauce, turning out beautiful and flavorful cuisine. Making sauces is a great talent to have in the kitchen, but you don’t have to travel to France to learn how to make them. There are ways to make easy, basic sauces and then start adding your own touches to create sauces that reflect your taste and style. In this digital cookbook, you get plenty of tips for making mouth-watering sauces that everyone will love. And we’ll address some common problems that people run into when they make sauces. (Don’t worry - they’re usually easy to fix!) Find out how to make the perfect Red Wine and Mushroom Sauce for your next dinner party. Make a Basic Tomato Sauce that tastes great just like it is, or you adjust to make it truly your own. For the sweet tooth in your home, the Magically Easy Salted Caramel Sauce is simple, and it tastes great on ice cream or as a dip for apples. But before dessert, sit down to dinner with a plate of Smothered Chicken and Gravy. Yes, this is a sauces digital cookbook, but isn’t it nice to have a recipe that incorporates a sauce into a meal you can enjoy? Learn everything you need to know to get started—all in the [RecipeLion Gold Club’s](3D) 16 Sauce Recipes Everyone Will Beg For.

[Subscribe now.](3D) Right now, let’s jump into the Smothered Chicken and Gravy recipe, because this gives you a full recipe that you can make tonight. The real secret to making this delicious gravy is to use the chicken to make the sauce, then pour the sauce onto the chicken later. Start by mixing your flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large Ziploc bag, then add your chicken and shake it up. Quickly sear the coated chicken in butter, then remove it. Add onion and celery to the pan, along with the leftover flour from coating the chicken. Once that’s cooked, add your stock, then add your chicken back in, cover, and cook for 20 - 30 minutes. The result is a thick, creamy gravy and tender, moist chicken, plus enough left over gravy for another meal! You can store the gravy in your refrigerator for 3–4 days, and use it for mashed potatoes, biscuits, or even rice! Bonus tip! Hold onto your vegetable ‘scraps’ (onion peels and celery ends) to make a chicken stock.

Thinly sliced crimini mushrooms and fresh rosemary make this sauce a visual, mouth-watering delight.  - Basic Tomato Sauce—Onion, butter and grated garlic add flavor to this simple, yet rich, tomato sauce, and fresh basil takes it to the next level. You’ll see how easy it is to make your own tomato sauce at home. You can really personalize this sauce, too, with extra onion, a little half and half, or freshly roasted tomatoes.  - White Sauce—You can turn this white sauce into a cream sauce, cheese sauce, or béchamel. You can’t walk away, though. This sauce cooks quickly, and you don’t want to burn anything. I like to grate some nutmeg in mine to add a unique flavor, but you could also spice it up with a pinch of cayenne or paprika if you want.  - Fettuccine Alfredo—Around my house, we also call this fancy mac and cheese! I’ll show you how to make a thick, delicious alfredo sauce, share a few tips for spicing it up just right, and you’ll discover why freshly grated parmesan is the perfect cheese for this rich sauce.  [Subscribe now.](3D) [Upgrade Now!](3D)  In addition to those amazing sauces, you get the recipes for some true fan favorites, including four ways to make ketchup and a homemade BBQ sauce that will knock your socks off. - Homemade BBQ Sauce—There’s never a bad time to have a good BBQ sauce recipe.
