Sauces come in a variety of styles and consistencies and can be used to transform the presentation and flavor of a dish. Sauces are thickened liquids that can be rich or delicate depending on their purpose. Sauces are typically served partially covering the food, under the food, or separately. Accompaniments like vegetables, sauces, and relishes are complementary additions to a main ingredient. Sauces are often served in boat-shaped pitchers to catch any drippings.
