Shows how to make over 200 sauces from around the world. Starting with French classics such as mayonnaise, hollandaise and veloute sauces, this book suggests variations including anchovies, truffles and caviar. It also helps you to understand the structure of a sauce, so you can see how a Veloute becomes a Sauce Aurore if you add tomato puree.
The definitive cook book for any home chef looking to create great sauces. The basics and French classics a are covered before traveling to Europe & the Mediterranean, Americas, Asia and the Pacific rim. Sweet sauces for desserts are covered as well. It has a cherished place on my bookshelf with my other essentials.
