Anyone read the Sauce Bible?

Hi,

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this book? I am looking for more information on sauces. The more you know about them, the harder it is to find more info that don't already know! Thanks

So far the books generated by Chef David Paul LaRusse have been indispencible. Really indepth.
Check out Sauces by Chef Jim Peterson, another can't live without. He wrote Soups too.

Both of these books are well written. They describe basicly all of the classic french sauces and some of the great contemporary versions. Ethier one of these titles is a great addition to a library.

------------------

Sauces by James Peterson is simply great.

Chef David Paul Larousse's book is excellent. It includes a chapter on sauce painting (Arabesque). I also have Peterson's book-he spends far more time on contemporary sauces than Larousse. Since I'm such a snob for "Classical" technique, etc., I prefer Larousse's book more.
