'Foolproof Gourmet Sauces' is a book that a cook can pick up anywhere and find an interesting read, and includes plenty of sauces for Vegetarians - these are marked with a V.Busy households rely too much on opening a tin of chopped tomatoes, then perhaps enlivening it with a chopped pepper, a clove of garlic and perhaps a few chili flakes - or even using a bottle of supermarket pre-prepared tomato sauce. There's nothing wrong with that, as such - but a bit boring, day after day.

An essential kitchen resource for all cooks

In the 1970s, '80s and '90s Nouvelle cuisine replaced the Haute and Classic cuisine movements with cream and butter replacing meat stocks and rich sauces. Broths, deglazed pans, simple vinaigrettes and sweet and savory purees made sauces lighter and more delicate, under-and-around embracers rather than over-the-top smotherers. Artistic smears across Michelin- starred plates arrived and the Fusion movement gave us dipping sauces before Molecular Gastronomy offered us foams, gels and dehydrated 'soils' as sauce replacements. Volume 3 of The Culinary Library, with over 300 recipes, embraces all of these saucy characters, even the quirky ones. For beginners and professional cooks who want to know everything about the world of sauce making this is the ultimate reference and cookbook. Trained at The Cordon Bleu and Elizabeth Russells in London and working as a professional chef in Mayfair and as a food lecturer and demonstrator, lends both the weigh of practical and professional experience to this work. The subject of Sauces can be intimidating to cooks but the clear and concise explanations, descriptions and recipes delivers hundreds of classic and modern sauces to your kitchen. More than 300 recipes for sauces ranging from the 5 classic French mother sauces and their derivatives to Asian sauces, dessert sauces, modern sauces, salsas, chutneys, curries, chipotle creams, coconut mint raitas and molecular gastronomy foams and soils to mention but a few. The extensive sauce pairing and recipe chapters help cooks use the sauces to their greatest advantage, partnering meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, pastas, and desserts. Mastery of the Sauces is timeless reference and cookbook essential in any kitchen.

My cook book deals with mostly sauces and dressings that can be used on any dish. Too often people will make meat, seafood and have no idea as far as what sauces to put on top of the main dish. Also in this book there are great dressings to put on salads, beets and any other side dish that you prepare. This is discussed in the book. There are some recipes in the book as far as soups, salads and some main dishes that you will find. I hope if this cook book is received by the public then I will make a cook book on main dishes in the future with the sauces and dressings in this book. I do hope that you enjoy this cook book and have many nights of enjoyment with the recipes. Enjoy cooking! Chef Frank Orofino
