"The first and thus far only cookbook I have read cover to cover, like a book. Peterson gets into the evolution of sauces, from the original ingredients and methods, to the sometimes surprising influences behind them, and the modern interpretations. There's so much amazing detail, about how cookware affects saucemaking, about the contributions and limitations of a huge number of ingredients... I could go on for 10,000 words on this one but I will stop. If you enjoy cooking and have any amount of skill, this book is for you."
"I worked in the hotel and restaurant world for almost 30 years and cooked tons and tons of food at many types of venues--fast food to fine dining to institutional. I was very good, but I never got any formal training. Sauces solves that problem, despite its focus on the French school of cooking. To be fair, I've just started deeply investigating the book and have yet to use any of its recipes, although it has influenced some of my recent creations.
Summing up, if you want to know how the chef made that decadent sauce for your entree, this book will have an answer for you."
"I wish I had the time and skill to make everything in this book - much better than the second edition - this book is simply the way to make sauces and make your dining companions happy and satiated."
"I'm just starting to delve into this wonderful Christmas gift. I find all of his books to be thorough, concise and easy to follow. Added bonuses include historical background and references. No mole recipe !!"
