Sauces and Gravies
Sauce derives its name from a Latin word meaning salted. Sauce is used in different countries in different ways but has normally the same thin consistency. Sauces can be served hot or cold and can be made from a variety of ingredients more well known are mint sauce and tomato sauce. Gravy on the other hand is usually made from the juices from cooked meats incorporating flour and milk to make a thicker gravy to accompany meats such as roast beef, pork and chicken. Gravy is coloured brown by the use of sugars contained in the meat juices that are caramelized to a brown colour. Gravy is then thickened with flour and butter known as a roux. Not all sauce contains a roux such as apple sauce which is often served with roast pork. Although we might think they are the same both sauce and gravies can be made and used in totally different ways. One sure thing no matter sauce or gravy, they both add to the flavour of the dish being eaten. Did you know a chef, who is solely responsible for making sauce in commercial kitchens is known as a "saucier."

Is there a way to make taco sauce without tomatoes?
My mother used to make a nice vegetable lasagna with no sauce, its main ingredients were spinach (a superfood), julienne carrots, lowfat cottage cheese (instead of ricotta) and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Mix spinach, carrots, cottage cheese and half of mozzarella to make the filling mixture, it should be moist and spreadable. Layer between cooked lasagna noodles, and top with remaining mozzarella. Of course, the ingredient amounts will vary based on size of recipe, and I would add garlic and salt and pepper to the spinach mixture, and maybe a little olive oil. Bake in a 350 deg. oven for about an hour, covering with foil for the first 45 minutes.

How long can you leave tomato sauce at room temt?
Depending on the acidity of the tomato sauce, or whether artificial preservatives have been added, tomato sauce can be left out at room temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2-5 days. Home made tomato sauce is likely to have little to no artificial preservatives, but is preserved by the acidity of the tomatoes, the added salt, and various herbs added. Therefore, in my experience, homemade tomato sauce has not gone bad until the third night, assuming that the tomato sauce was made on the first morning. Store-bought tomato sauce may have ascorbic acid, vinegar and/or other preservatives added that allow the tomato sauce to be left out unopened for an undefined amount of time. When opened, the tomato sauce will not be affected for several days. Several of my friends never refrigerate their store-bought tomato sauce, because they use up the entire bottle within the week. However, if the tomato sauce has been excessively handled or contaminated, it may spoil withing 12 hours.

Why are stocks and sauces high risk foods?
Stocks, or broths, are a high risk food because they provide an optimal medium for bacteria to grow in - there's plenty of water, minimal salts and a fair amount of protein to grow on. Stocks are also risky because they tend to be made in large batches and then used periodically rather than all at once, meaning some of the stock may be sitting around letting bacteria grow for a few weeks before it is heated and cooked through again.
