Clare's Seafood Cocktail Sauce
This was given to me by a chef back in the 1960's when everyone had seafood or prawn cocktail as a starter when eating out. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the sauce when you serve it and serve with a sprig of parsley.
Nana's Mustard Sauce
This is the perfect sauce to go with silverside or corned beef. A good kiwi traditional meal - silverside, mashed potatoes, carrots and mustard sauce!
Lemon and dill cream sauce
This sauce is absolutely delicious and can be had with pretty much any type of fish or even chicken. I like it with atlantic salmon the most, and generally serve it with a garlic mash and sauteed greens. After I couldn't find the original recipe I had to do a trial and error run with the sauce but am confident I now have it better than the original.
Family Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce
This is my variation on the classic Italian recipe + lots of variations (see substitution section). I used to always use bought pasta sauces until I realised how much better it is making your own and it's just as easy! My family has diverse tastes so depending on who I'm cooking for decides which version I make! Vegetarian for my mum, meaty for my brother, traditional for my dad etc...
Chicken & Mushroom Sauce
Chicken & Mushroom are one of the great flavour combinations and can be often found under peoples "favourite things to eat" column. This sauce is simple to make, rich in flavour, has a beautiful creaminess to it and goes beautifully with Pasta or served with my Easy Risotto Base. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Being unable to find a recipe I liked online, I used my base knowledge of sauces to create this beauty.
BEST meat sauce
Cheap and easy meat sauce, suitable for pastas, doria, anything really! Much tastier and more nutritious than the canned stuff at the supermarket. Easily the greatest and most delicious meat sauce in the world.
Creamy Lemon Chicken Sauce
Recipe by:
Jessica
This simple sauce is made of cream of chicken soup mixed with lemon juice, garlic and spices. It tastes great on rice, pasta, chicken or veggies. Add a teaspoon or two of basil or Italian seasoning for extra flavour.
Satay popcorn
There is nothing better than munching on popcorn when watching a movie. Except when you can dip it into a delicious quick satay sauce, of course! I created this tasty snack when an impoverished university student and it soon became as requested as my honey soy chicken wings! All you need is some air-popped popcorn, peanut butter, butter and a little chilli powder (if you like your satay spicy like I do!)
Apple Cider Vinaigrette
This recipe makes about half a litre of dressing which you can make at the start of the week for your week's worth of salads. Keep in a glass jar in the fridge and shake before using each time.
Caramel sauce

A sticky caramel sauce that's perfect for ice cream, sponge puddings or fruit.
The Cupboard and Fridge Special Sauce
Recipe by:
STYLER83
As the name suggests this recipe was invented with the leftover ingredients that were in my cupboards and fridge. It has become a firm favourite with my friends who have all used it (repeatedly apparently!). But the best thing about this recipe is that it's quick, so very easy and you can alter it all to suit your taste so don't adhere strictly to mine.
Chocolate dipping sauce

This chocolate dip is delicious served with fruit (particularly strawberries), or warmed slightly and poured over ice-cream.
Onion gravy
Recipe by:
Lupin Pooter
I tried recipe after recipe for the perfect onion gravy to go with bangers and mash, and this is by far and away the best. It's a great cold weather gravy or sauce.
