5. Sauces

If a dish is a symphony, the sauce is the conductor. A truly great sauce can elevate a simple meal into an unforgettable culinary experience, and a bad one can ruin everything. That’s why I treat this category as the backbone of all my cooking.

Here at Lezata, we focus on the essential sauces that power global cuisine. I’ve spent countless hours in my kitchen perfecting the techniques to create rich, balanced, and deeply flavorful sauces—from a classic, velvety French Béchamel to the complex, spicy sambals of Indonesia, and the perfect balance of a Chinese stir-fry sauce.

Every recipe you find here is my kitchen-tested guarantee that your sauce will turn out amazing. I’ll show you exactly how to achieve the right consistency, the ideal balance of acid and fat, and how to get that beautiful depth of flavor.

Stop relying on store-bought jars! Dive into these simple guides and unlock the true potential of your cooking.
