With eleven ports of call, each representing a deliciously distinct condiment or sauce, we are about to unearth the secrets of this heart-healthy cuisine.

As your guide, and most ardent enthusiast, I can't wait for you to discover the magic that ensues when we devote time to the supporting acts of the dishes—the condiments and sauces. Often overlooked, they're the unassuming maestros conducting an orchestra of flavors. So, loosen your apron, sharpen those knives, and muster an appetite.
