I was watching Chef Michael Smith‘s show Chef at Home when I heard a useful tip on making your own special sauce.
You only have to remember that there are three key parts and they are:
- Base
- Seasoning – for taste
- Aromatics – for smell
In the show, he used it as a marinade before hitting the grill. He said it would be good to make a lot of your special mix, saving some for next time. :D
(I may not have heard it right so please correct me if I’m wrong.)
Do you have your own secret sauce? :P

A little more on Chef at Home: I love watching Chef at Home. He cooks for family (his partner Rachel and their son Gabriel) and friends so what he cooks range from fun kid-friendly food to backyard party feasts. What makes this show even more interesting is that he encourages freestyle cooking.
“…there are no recipes to follow, just guidelines, and ingredients are interchangeable.”

hmm, a very good hot sauce we once had sa bahay was Sriracha (otherwise known to Americans as the “cock” brand… due to it's logo :)) ). Thai hot sauce that's good on ANYTHING, too bad we can't find it here now :(
