Brown Sauce Secret, Feb 15 2004

The book is excellently written and gives not just fabulous recipes but also the family history associated with them. Previously closely guarded secrets are revealed in honor of the author's mother. Ancient Chinese tradition is fused with the New World. The importance of the right ingredients is stressed and accompanied with stories of their origin such as the trout caught by the author below a waterfall in the Alps. Delicious!!!
