As it is, I learned to make and finesse my sauces the hard way: Through trial and error, a lot of thought, much experimentation, several fairly useless sauce books--and even some tears (Oh, I remember some anguished, rushed, minutes when I'd be cooking for company!). Except for one time when I actually let a roux burn, I've never dumped a sauce in frustration. I've worked with it, learned from it, and made it into something we could eat. But, sometimes it wasn't fun. Sometimes it wasn't pretty....(my responses nor the sauce...). Thinking back, I guess I also burnt some caramel, too!
So, if you are looking to learn the why and wherefore of sauces--both savory and sweet, take it from me: Here is a terrific guide, written by a fantastic female chef who obviously loves to teach and coach. Her sense of humor also shines through every once in a while, too. You'd be crazy to pass by this opportunity, and the sooner you buy it, the better. (It won't do to borrow it from the library, as you'll want to refer to it often.)
I was a bit skeptical of this book--I am a tough critic--when the author started out with vinaigrette. I guess I don't like vinaigrette being termed a "sauce", and I didn't like pages of the book being wasted on dressings for salads. But there are some decent recipes in that chapter. At this time of year, I always have oranges on my countertop and paprika in my pantry; so (for me) there's at least one recipe in that chapter that works very well.
But she won me over in the chapter that discusses gravies.
