From Amazon.com

Back in 1991, when the first edition of Sauces was published, it's as though James Peterson said, "Okay, this is what we know so far. Where do you want to go from here?" The "what we know so far" part started with the Greeks and Romans, moved through the Middle Ages, into the Renaissance, through the 17th and 18th centuries, and right on into time as we know it, time that can be tasted in the sauce.

The "where do you want to go" part continues to evolve, as it always will, but remains just as evident in the way we sauce our creations, both elegant and fundamental. In the second edition of Sauces, released seven years after the first, the "we" has expanded beyond Frenchmen and their disciples, and now includes the broader range of flavors experienced by Italians as pasta sauces, as well as New World cooks and their counterparts in the Middle East and throughout greater Asia. The solid base from which all this grows, however, remains the lessons learned in the French kitchen--and a better kitchen for such lessons has never been developed.

To cook is one thing, to sauce another. The right sauce lifts the right dish to a wholly different plateau of dining than would be the case if the cook didn't bother. This can be a humble pasta sauce created as a perfect balance of ingredients on hand, or a carefully considered sauce the ingredients of which have been developed at the stove over days, not mere hours.

In the sauce can be seen the reflection of the cook. There is no room to hide. In the well-crafted sauce can be found the ultimate expression of simplicity, which leaves even less room to hide. It is James Peterson's great talent that he can draw the home cook and professional cook into his dialogue on sauces, and teach them both how to stay afloat in such shallow waters.

Peterson gives the reader--in close to 600 pages, mind you--the continuum on which sauces have been based in culinary history. He gives the reader the kitchen science that allows sauces to work. He gives the reader the techniques necessary to follow along where many a cook has already whisked up a splendid creation. But most of all, he gives the reader permission to go ahead and be creative, to cut loose with knowledge and technique in hand and discover for oneself the way an inkling of a flavor idea can find its way to a dish and make the combined ingredients lift off the plate. Or not. Finding out what doesn't work can be just as important.

This is a book that can be taken to bed and savored, page by page, sauce by sauce. It is a book that should be on the shelf in any kitchen, professional or homebody alike. It is not a book to ever gather dust and need dusting. --Schuyler Ingle

Product Description

"Here is yet another cookbook that can stand among the best reference works. I suspect it's a harbinger of kindred books to come as publishers begin to respond to a growing audience of cook-readers who hunger for connected, nuanced, reliably researched information.." --Gourmet Magazine "James Peterson has done for sauces that which Escoffier did for the cuisine of La Belle Epoque.. Sauces is a manual for the professional cook and, as such, it will rapidly become a classic and indispensable reference.." --Richard Olney, From the Foreword "It's the single contemporary reference on the subject that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. I love Jim's recipes (and there are gems all over the place here), but what's special about Sauces is the text: It reads so well that this is the kind of book you can take to bed." --Mark Bittman, From the Foreword "This is a book I wish I had written myself.. Every few decades a book is written that says all there is to say on a subject, or has all the information and passion that sets the standard for professional and amateurs alike. Sauces is one of the best culinary books of this century in English.." --Jeremiah Tower, Stars Restaurant "The art of sauce making is the cornerstone of serious cooking. This book is a must for the new generation of creative cooks who wish to build on the classical French foundation with contemporary, delicious variations." --Daniel Boulud, Daniel "It is a special reference book--comprehensive and inspiring.." --Alice Waters, Chez Panisse

3.0étoiles sur 5 Highly technical, designed for professional Chefs, Fév 2 2002
Par Un client
I purchased this book hoping I can get a good recipes for making BBQ sauces, salad dressings or salsas and things of that nature. The book is highly technical. The first five chapters go through the history and details of sauce making. Eventually I might read this, to get a good background, but that wasn't my reasoning for purchasing the book.

The chapters that follow are White Sauces, Brown Sauces, Stocks, etc. The problem I have with this book, is that at the beginning of the chapter it details one recipe, doesn't usually tell you what the sauce accompanies, then goes through talking about variations upon the sauce in short succinct paragraphs. All in a very technical nature with ingredients that I cannot find easily like Deer or Rabbit for example. Furthermore the majority of the Recipes are distinctly French in nature, with a very small chapter dedicated to "Asian Sauces" at the end.

A lot of work went into writing this book and I believe it is a must for the professional Chef, but not for the average cook such as myself who want to quickly find a peanut sauce recipe that goes well with my spring rolls.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The BEST, Avril 9 2001
Par Un client
This book is for the professional or SERIOUS hobby cook. It is NOT for someone coming home from a long, hard day at work looking for a quick sauce to slosh over the overcooked maccaroni. It is to be read as a book from beginning to end and kept as a reference tool. The stocks and sauces take time to make, but the results are fabulous. James Peterson is THE master...

5.0étoiles sur 5 Extraordinary book on sauces, Juil 26 2003
As others have commented, this isn't designed to be a recipe book. Instead, this book *teaches* you what sauces are all about. You'll learn the history. You'll learn the techniques. You'll learn the ingredients. In the end, you will be armed with the knowledge to *create* your own sauces rather than just execute others' recipes. This ranks up there as one my most cherished books on cooking. Any serious cook who cares about sauces should get this!
