Summary: Another Great Cookbook From Williams Sonoma
Review: I have a friend who is a professional chef, and a good one. One night we were discussing steaks, and he said that anyone can "do" a steak, but it is the exceptional cook who knows how to make the meal memorable with the right sauce. I believed him then and do so now: the right sauce makes a good meal memorable. However, my early explorations led me to recipes that were complex and time consuming, and thus frustrating

Then I came upon this little gem while searching the amazon.com roster.The title is a bit misleading, because the book provides suggested entrees (and desserts) for each sauce recipe. For example, the recipe for duxelles sauce has it accompanying veal chops, and the recipe for carmel sauce accompanies the recipe for carmel swirl ice cream.

Nontheless, the sauce recipes are clearly written and easy to prepare. The results so far have been exceptional.

So, if you want to kick your cooking up a notch, try this book. No disappointments so far.
