Any suggestions are welcome. Fri Oct 14 21:35:56 -0700 2005 0 Tracy L. 1 1488696 "Sauces" by James Peterson is pretty decent. Fri Oct 14 22:00:41 -0700 2005 1488692 0 DT 2 1488731 I have heard really good things about this book. I love his Vegetables book. I've been meaning to get Sauces. -Becca Sat Oct 15 09:55:27 -0700 2005 1488696 0 Becca Porter 3 1488739 It is a great teaching book, with great explanations along with recipes. One of those you actually want to sit and read. Sat Oct 15 11:37:43 -0700 2005 1488731 0 DT 3 1488742 James Peterson is one of the gold standards of technique; all his books are worth having, including Sauces.

Knopf, 1997 for classic French sauces Sat Oct 15 05:26:10 -0700 2005 1488692 0 Cynthia 1 1488743 I like a new book called __Get Saucy : Make Dinner a New Way Every Day with Simple Sauces, Marinades, Dressings, Glazes, Pestos, Pasta Sauces, Salsas, and More__ by Grace Parisi. It's not as Franco-centric as most sauce books and it contains a lot of very nice recipes that work.
