Sauces: Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making
2.  Sauces: Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making by James Peterson

Penguin Book of Sauces

Le Repertoire De La Cuisine
5.  Le Repertoire De La Cuisine by Louis Saulnier

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Cookery Encyclopedia
6.  Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Cookery Encyclopedia by Prosper Montagne

The Sauce Bible: A Guide to the Saucier's Craft
7.  The Sauce Bible: A Guide to the Saucier's Craft by David Paul Larousse
The list author says:
  "Frankly I feel ambivalent about this book - there's nothing wrong with the approach or coverage, but I feel uncomfortable about an author called Larousse when the book is not from the Larousse stable"
£24.04   Used & New from: £17.50
