2.0 out of 5 stars quantity vs quality, September 29, 2000

By	Sandra M. Turner "Sannycat" (APO, AP USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One thing I really liked about this cookbook was the section where you mark the recipe "loved it ( ), hated it ( ), maybe we'll try it again ( ), we'll use it for unwelcome guests ( )". Really liked the layout and background information on the sauces. Unfortunately, I did not like one sauce that I tried (I tried about 10 out of 160). I was looking for Marsalla wine sauce, Madera wine sauce, and tomato pasta sauce. I'm still looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used book for years!, April 8, 2001

By	"pek264" (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I really like this book. It is what it says it is- an encyclopedia of sauces. I've probably made over 100 of the recipes, and have liked most. I'm especially fond of the pistachio sauce and the mushroom sauce. If you like pasta, and want to have a variety of sauces to add to your repertoire, this is a winner.
