Reviews about this book

  • Portland Monthly

    In short, the book covers every kind of sweet or savory sauce an at-home cook could possibly desire (and then some)....Holmberg treats sauces as the Main Event, not an afterthought.

    ...outstanding -- I hope a new classic reference book on the craft of sauces. They can be easy, they can be complex. Holmberg covers the whole range and does a beautiful job of it... A great book.

    Holmberg explains in detail what is going on in a particular sauce, what you can do with it, and how you can fix it should something go wrong. Her declarations are both amusing and informative...
