A chef's specialty is a dish or combination of dishes that the chef is particularly skilled at preparing. The term can refer to a single dish, such as a viand, or a combination of dishes, such as a CUISINE with a special SAUCE. Viand, CUISINE, and SAUCE are all terms used in the culinary arts to describe different types of food. A viand is a main course dish, usually made from meat, fish, or vegetables. CUISINE refers to a style of cooking, such as Italian, French, or Chinese. SAUCE is a liquid or semi-solid condiment used to enhance the flavor of a dish.
