What Does Nap Mean?

To dip a dish means that you completely or partially cover it with a sauce before serving. This has various advantages: In addition to the attractive appearance, this “finish” is primarily used for the taste experience, which is supplemented and expanded by the sauce with other aromas.

In addition, napping prevents the covered food from cooling down too quickly or becoming dry. The technique works very well for savory foods like meat topped with gravy or salad with dressing. Another classic is vitello tonnato, in which slices of veal are generously covered in tuna sauce. But even desserts can be decorated and refined with sauces.
