Buonasera, Good Evening,
 
 
 
This mini Guide, provides a taste of the Mediterranean and its  numerous sauces, which are profoundly steeped in tradition especially during the Christmas Season. Here are just some of the most common sauces prepared during this special time as this subject is infinite.
 
If you would like to add a sauce or gravy that you or your family have used during the Christmas holidays, please do tell us about it and of course, its ingredients.
 
If you are interested in the ingredients of the sauces I have listed, please do send me a note or a PM. 
 
Please note: Italian Tomato Sauces have been posted several months ago, in Part 1 and Part 2, thus, these sauces include International Style Mediterranean used sauces, Spanish, Parts of France, the Basque Country and Catalonia.
 
 
If we do not get to chat, please do have a wonderful 2013, and a lovely Christmas Season filled with good health, fulfillment and happiness.
