In its almost 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.
This installment, the Book of Sauces, presents recipe suggestions for everything from basic stocks and standards to dessert sauces. Special chapters are dedicated to fruit sauces, exotic, and other unusual sauces. Classics such as aioli, barbecue sauce, sauce bearnaise, bechamel sauce, Bolognese sauce, Cumberland sauce, sauce hollandaise, Madeira sauce, marinara sauce, various types of mayonnaise, curries and tomato sauces, mint sauce, mornay sauce, pesto, satay sauce and sauce vinaigrette appear next to unique recipes such as apricot and cognac, butterscotch-almond and marmalade-liqueur sauce.
From A la King to zabaglione sauce, this collection of recipes is a great introduction to the endless possibilities of spicing up any dish with a well-tasting sauce - and at a relative bargain price, to boot.
