Review: Book Amazing! desertcart Shipping Method Lousy! - The sauce book is wonderful! Awesome! Worth the cost but desertcart Prime Shipping STINKS. Bought as a gift the corners of the book are so damaged on arrival it looks used ($62 book). It arrived loose in a box with other items with no thing wrapped around the book, no wadded paper to fill the space, no plastic bubbles, nothing to protect the book. It is a Christmas gift for my son and I am retired on small income (thank goodness I got it Black Friday sale) but it’s terrible. desertcart tells us what we save in shipping each purchase but they don’t put value on the items they ruin in the shipping method. Very disappointed with desertcart. Again, the recipe book is great. PS desertcart won’t even accept upload of my damage pics to post AI must be reading my review as I write it. :( Review: Great hoby - It is great for cooking hoby

Amazing TEXTBOOK
This is not a cookbook or recipe book. It's a text book. It's educational. You will learn how to cook, not just follow a recipe. You will learn techniques, and the science. It's a great book for people who want to learn how to actually cook. Maybe the best I've seen. It's an understated title as well. It's more than just sauce. It's got soup, meat techniques, etc.

Bermonte, Beurre Monte Butter?
Bermonte Butter, Beurre Monte, no matter how you spell it, you cannot find it in this book. It is the fundamental ingredient for any good sauce. In my opinion and you know what they are like.

Must have for Chef’s
VERY thorough, everything from hundreds of sauces from every region, both classic and modern, thoroughly detailing process, application, origins and interpretations. If your naturally creative this is the only book on sauces you’ll ever need! Great for reference, and depending on how you use it it’s thorough enough to extract a basic to advanced understanding of classic sauce making to develop your own style or borrow from the book.

Excellent! Would highly recommend
After a number of other but disappointing sauce cookbook, I finally found this incredible one. This has all the classic sauces as well as more modern ones. May be a bit much for the novice but fir the advanced cooks it is a complete reference book. It also provide frameworks for paring different sauces with a variety of meats and vegetables. The book also includes important sauces from different countries. Great book to add to your cuisine library.
