How to make sauces.

Sauces are important. If you understand how sauces work, you will be able to work with the heat on the stove.



Sauces form the base of many wonderful dishes and thus, are a great place to start in the kitchen. Featuring a salsa, a red sauce, a béchamel, and a red wine sauce, this Basics with Babish episode will get you chopping, mincing, deglazing, and more in no time.
