I was at a dinner party the other night and a friend was lamenting about how she had paid $29 or something like that to learn how to make a basic spaghetti sauce at a cooking class. What a waste of time, especially as the recipe involved tomatoes and sugar. Sugar! Bleech.
I mentioned that she could buy a comprehensive book that would give her the basic techniques she needed. She asked me to source a book that would give her some basic information and this is what I found.
I have to say that I haven't read the whole thing, but it looks really good. If you're passionate about learning how to make great sauces this book will definitely get you on your way.
