Anyone can dismiss ready made cooking Sauces with a ready posh air on or with the turn your nose up stance. But I will say this like a devil's advocate: When you haven't got the time to prepare a home made Sauce, they are convenient. Another point to make is when your body is not very well or you can not stand up for very long, they can be a short cut worth to have in the cupboard, fridge or pantry. Also when you are young or on a budget, or don't know how to cook or like to cook (either age of the spectrum), a Sauce pre made can be the way to go.

Sweet Chilli Sauce. The question could be for exemple how to replicate the Sweet Chilli Sauce we do like from a shop or a restaurant?

To tackle the first point, not everyone has the luxury of time. Second one must not forget physical challenges. It is from how long can you stay physically mobile, upright and without a great deal of pain to the basic conundrum the 'I have got to feed myself at the end of the day' which could be because you are on the verge of collapsing upon yourself. The third point is to have a brain functionality which has the A to Z to all Sauces and how to do them would be quite a miracle. Therefore to turn to Shop bought cooking Sauces sometimes is totally understandable.

There is another point some Sauces have the stamp of time with secret recipes most well loved like the Worcestshire Sauce.

Sauces can go from the Classics with different variations according to brands to the downright original almost coming out of the blue, like the Reggae Reggae Jerk BBQ Sauce of Levi Roots. I dare say the Man in this Home born in the fifties is branded so much that he could swear upon one brand most of all: 'Heinz'. If I could do a Wharol like piece of Art, instead of Campbell Soups representations, it would be Salad Cream from Heinz alternated with the portrait of my Man... It would be not as glamourous as the depiction of Marilyn Monroe, of course, but it would have the power to make someone smile at the very least.

The Christmas 'Tyn'...

There is also something to say about shop bought Sauces, you can make discoveries of new Sauces you didn't try before or some that you are very well used to but that some brands were not available in your country before, hence you didn't have the full range to taste. Hence another Satay Sauce in the cupboard can be a palate sensation for the taste buds.
