Summary

It is so easy to make mealtime magic by whisking together a handful of ingredients, or by adding water or wine and a few spices to pan drippings. This book includes 500 of the best recipes for sauces from all over the world, designed to delight home cooks of all skill levels. Make a simple roast chicken sublime by serving it with Horseradish Cream Pan Sauce, or Smoky Paprika garlic Paste, or Sweet-and-Sour Peach Chutney. Stir-fry the leftover chicken with Sesame-ginger Stir Fry Sauce, or chop it up into Green Chile Tomato Sauce and serve it over pasta.
