The Homemade Cook: Homemade French Sauces: Quick & Easy Dinner Sauces and Recipes to make any meal lip-smacking

The idea behind this book is to have maximum impact in your kitchen with sauces that require a minimum of training and a small list of ingredients. The point isn't to break the bank with exotic ingredients. It's to start using your kitchen, make better food than you can get at a drive-in window, and most of all, get you cooking!

In a lot of cookbooks, sauces are some kind of an afterthought: This Dish with That Sauce. This book takes a non-traditional look at sauces and turns the meal upside-down - storable sauces, made fresh or in advance, take the center stage here. Whether it's meat, vegetarian, or vegan, whether it's simple or grand, everything that you make is going to be better!

Sauce gives flavor, and excitement, and punch. It makes good dishes better, and great dishes even greater. In this 2nd volume of the Homemade Sauces series, explore the flavors and sauces of France. Then, sample some fine recipes with your new-found sauce making confidence!

It's a great way to cook something new every day. Or, cook the same dish and have the leftovers with different sauces, giving you totally different meals with less work and keeping you from getting hungry or bored.
