Sauce
Get the sauce right and the whole dish will follow suit: avoid lumpy, floury sauces with Delia's selection of the very best, from classics to more recent finds.
Serves 4Gammon Steaks with White Wine and Gherkin Sauce
The addition of gherkins to the sauce adds crunch and a certain piquancy to this recipe, cutting through the richness of the gammon. A very impressive supper dish and special enough for entertaining.
Serves 4Grilled Autumn Fruits with Sabayon Cider Sauce
A lovely versatile fruity dessert that can be made ahead for stress-free entertaining. Serve the sauce warm or cooled: either way this is a sensation for autumn and winter.
Serves 8Hot Punch Sauce
Make this wonderful light sauce in advance then pour it over your festive puddings - it will go down a treat with everyone who tastes it.
Serves 6Coffee Cappuccino Creams with Cream and Sweet Coffee Sauce

Serves 8Canary Puddings with Lemon Curd Topping
With a name like this, it's hardly surprising that Canary puddings are such a hit in the restaurant at Norwich City FC. Whether you're a Norwich supporter or not, this dessert will score every time!
Makes about 10 fl oz (275 ml)Fatless White Sauce
Okay, so you don't get the buttery flavour, but you do get a lovely, creamy-smooth, milky white sauce which is most helpful for those needing to cut the fat content of their diet.
Serves 4Hollandaise Sauce
This great classic butter sauce from France can be tricky if it gets too much heat, so great care is in order here. However, since the advent of blenders and processors, the risk is not as large as it used to be with hand whisking over hot water. It
