Caterforce offers chefs a helping hand with new ready-made sauces

Caterforce, one of the biggest foodservice buying and marketing consortiums in the UK has launched a range of ready-made sauces under the Chef’s Selections brand.

The Chef’s Selections range of sauces allows chefs to create bespoke menus without having to prepare every element of the dish from scratch. The new sauces include flavours from around the world; Bolognese, Tomato & Basil, Tikka, Korma, Balti, Sweet & Sour and Chilli con Carne. Available in 2.5kg tubs they allow time-poor chefs to add exciting flavours and versatility to their menus.

Stocks and sauces can provide pubs, restaurants and hotels with the help and support they need, especially during peak dining times and busy seasonal occasions such as Christmas. They also allow outlets to easily keep up to date with developing flavour trends, ensuring diners keep coming back.

The ready-made sauces are ideal for a variety of Italian, Indian, Chinese and Mexican dishes and they can also be used for a wide range of cold dishes such as the Tikka sauce for Chicken Tikka sandwich fillings, jacket potato accompaniments and as a great addition to wraps and salads – ideal for a variety of options without the added work.

Nick Redford, managing director, Caterforce, said: “Providing customers with options and dishes from around the world that they simply just don’t make at home from scratch is vital. Ready-made stocks and sauces can help outlets create those dishes quickly without the added pressure of making them on top of all the other ingredients they prepare.”

All of the new Chef’s Selections ready-made sauces are gluten free and suitable for vegetarians, with the majority of them meeting today’s salt guidelines, ensuring chefs can produce menus quickly and efficiently for a range of dietary and free-from requirements.

The Caterforce Chef’s Sections range is available from Caterforce’s eight members across the UK and Ireland.
