NEW SAUCE COOKERY BOOK BY MICHEL ROUX

October 22nd, 2009

It’s hard to talk about a cuisine without talking about the sauces, and now Michel Roux has published a book covering his own experience of this world of powerful alchemy.

Apart from the classics such as chasseur, tartare, cumberland, béarnaise, béchamel, bolognaise, parsley, there are examples to
spruce up a main meal, give a bit of oomph to white fish with coconut and chilli pepper sauce, add a fresh goat’s cheese sauce with rosemary to a chicken breast for opulence, or conclude a tasty steak with a lashing of béarnaise sauce.

For a dessert such as chocolate souffle, Roux says dribble some crème anglaise on top, or spoon over a bitter blackberry coulis on almost any  charlottes to give the wow factor.

This comprehensive collection contains a lifetime of culinary knowledge from Britain’s first 3 Michelin starred chef, Michel Roux (senior), proprietor of the Waterside Inn, Bray.

For this new and revised edition, Michel has updated all the recipes for today’s lighter, healthier taste, added 20 new recipes, over 200 sauces and over 50 new colour photographs. The techniques and methods of sauce making are explained simply and clearly, many
illustrated with step-by-step instructions and photographs.

Sauces has already attained classic status as the essential guide in every good cook’s kitchen, praised for being the complete encyclopedia for every sauce, dressing, marinade and dip you could ever need. The directory also recommends the best sauces for key dishes and ingredients.
