Simple, Natural Sauces Enrich Flavours

Tammie said that it is important to be vigilant on the fat content of sauces, such as Béchamel sauce, and cream cheese sauce, as they are always made of butter, cheese and cream which are high in fat content. It is recommended to choose sauces that are cooked with tomatoes, pumpkin and spinach. Ready made sauces and salad dressings are always high in sodium and fat content. Tammie suggested to use sauces made with juices of lemon, apricot and strawberry, which help enriches the taste of the dishes, as well as reduce sodium and fat intake.
