...make it this one. It has all the main sauces fron salad dressings to dessert toppings, and most everything in between. The recipes are simple, easy to follow and produce simply wonderful results.

A good sauce is what makes a meal go from very good to memorable, and there are many books with convoluted and time intensive approaches to sauce making. What I like about this book's approach is its simplicity of preparation and the excellence of the results. It is as nearly fool proof as one can imagine.

It's also a great value for the price.

Found this book on vacation and tried some of the sauces. They had a collection of the Cordon Bleu books and the recipes were simple, delicious and accompanied by great pictures and good tips for preparation in the back of the book. Seller provided expedient service.
Thank you

This short but excellent sauce cookbook is a "must" for anyone who delights in elegant French sauces and dressings, but is put off by recipes requiring exotic ingredients or 2 hours of prep time. The recipes in this book seldom have more than 4-5 readily available ingredients, take no more than 15-20 minutes of prep time, and best of all, they work! Everything from home-made mayonnaise to mango salsa, from hollandaise to buerre blanc. The explicit directions include "chef's tips" on how to serve the sauces, prevent separation, and so on. Truly first-rate!
