5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to buy if you're serious about sauce, 25 Mar 2002
By A Customer
A beautifully written and photographed compendium of sauces, gravies, custards, emulsions and dressings. Written in clear, simple language, with easy to follow instructions, complimented with genuinely helpful step-by-step photography. Many of the recipes are so simple you'll be pleasantly surprised. The results are spot on every time. And the index - matching sauces to any ingredient - is fantastic. This is a book that represents extremely good value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, clear and "saucy"..., 25 Nov 2002
By A Customer
A very comprehensive guide to traditional and non-traditional sauces, including dressings, gravies, stocks etc. A simple to understand, no-nonsense approach, well organised and also suggests what food should go with what sauce.
If you want to learn about sauces you needn't buy anything else after this book. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sauces, 18 Jun 2004
Having read and used this wonderul book, I was rather suprised to see that 'a reader from faringdon' gave it only 1 star and said "These sauces are far too complicated for everyday use."

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I don't know what this reader expected when she bought a book of Michel Roux's sauce recipes (perhaps she was expecting instruction on how to open a bottle of tomato ketchup or advice on the right amount of hot water to add to gravy granules) but in reality these sauces are simple, uncomplicated and very tasty.

In short, with the help of this book anyone with a modicum of culinary nouse will be able to produce fantastic sauces in less time than it takes our reader from faringdon to defrost a frozen pizza for her kids.
