Book Review: The Complete Book of Sauces by Sallie Y. Williams
On a whim, I purchased
The
Complete Book of Sauces by Sallie Y. Williams the last time I
bought a bunch of cooking books at Amazon. I have now made several
sauces out of this book, each with tremendous success.
This morning I
made my favorite breakfast dish, Eggs Benedict, and served it with
Hollandaise Sauce from the recipe in this book. Emulsified butter
sauces (like Hollandaise) are tough to make just right (I have failed
before), but this book really laid out a nice technique to prepare it
perfectly. Next time I serve steak for dinner, I'll whip up some
Bearnaise Sauce to go with it!
This is a great book to have on the shelf in your kitchen. The book is
well organized and includes a section in the back that lists
sauce recommendations for various categories (beef, eggs, fruit, pasta,
etc). Very handy.
If you are already ordering something from Amazon and are just a
few dollars short of the "Free Super Saver Shipping" threshold, then
toss this $11 book into your shopping cart. It's worth it.
