500 Best Sauces, Salad Dressings, Marinades and More

I am new to marinades and rubs and I think this book is great!The Intro explains the tools and equipment to have and what they are used for. This section explains common and other ingredients, such as oils, vinegars, sugars, dairy, produce, vegetables, spices, herbs, seasonings, extracts, nuts, seeds, chocolate, lettuces and more. The author describes what each item is like, what it is for, where to buy it in the store and what to look for when buying it. This info is perfect for a beginner like me!As the title implies, there are 500 recipes for sauces, dressings, marinades, rubs, spreads, condiments, salsas, relishes, stock and more! There is a brief summary at the beginning of each section. The recipes give tips, indicates how much the recipe will make, suggests what type of meat to use the recipe with, lists the ingredients needed and the steps on how to make it.There are a few charts too. A Meat Marinade Chart suggests the type of meat, type of marinade to use and the marinating time. An Internal Temperature for Cooked Meats chart lists types and cuts of meat and the internal temperatures for doneness. A Pairing Sauces with Pasta chart indicates the type of sauce and suggested pastas to use. There are Barbecue Sauces and Dry-Semidry Rubs charts too, which list the type of meat and the suggested sauces or rubs to use and how to use them.The recipes seem very simple with everyday ingredients. I am a beginner and I don't see many off the wall or hard to get ingredients, like I find in most books. I have most of the ingredients for many recipes, but I will still have to go to the store for some ingredients, especially fresh ones. Overall, the recipes look like they will be easy to make and delicious.There is an alphabetical Index in the back of the book too.A food processor is recommended for many of the recipes and I will be getting one soon!I think the book is put together well and provides a lot of relevant and helpful information, more than just a list of recipes. Well worth the price!

O'migosh! What a wealth of good things in here. The most simple basic dishes can be jazzed up with a different sauce, marinade, rub, etc., and this book has enough to last a lifetime.sauce, dressing, marinade cookbook What a great gift for a new or experienced cook! My refrigerator now has half a dozen containers of delicious, easy to make sauces and dressings which give me a different menu any time I want. What could be easier than taking the same protein or vegetable and changing it simply by changing the topping! I love how the author(s) have suggested what to use it for, and whether it can be frozen or not. That's very helpful, indeed. Bon Appetit!

I finally caved in and purchased this book after I found myself checking it out from the library for a third time. It comes in very handy when deciding what to make for dinner. I love to open a random page, choose a sauce and work back words from there; rather than starting with a meat and figuring out what to flavor it with. The salad dressing recipes have turned out delicious! (roasted garlic vinaigrette or green goddess are my favorites so far) I highly recommend this book it's a keeper.

Recetas para todo tipo de gustos y variedades de alimentos. Lo único que le faltó fueron ilustraciones, ya que así se da una mejor idea de qué es, cómo se ve y cómo usar estas salsas.

Old and new sauces, marinades, rubs, chutneys, dips, dressings. You name it, it's here.If you know basic food preparation, with these recipes you can create an almost infinite variety of dishes. If I'd had this years ago, I probably could have skipped many of the cookbooks on my shelves.This would be perfect paired with a cookbook that teaches cooking techniques would be a perfect gift for someone who is starting their culinary education. They would use this one for a lifetime.And no, this review isn't from the author or publisher, the cookbook is just that good!

Absolutely Superb! Very informative, and impressive, easy to make sauces. They actually utilize ingredients that you have or are easy to get. Very, very good book and comes highly recommended! Half the costs on Amazon than in my local bookstore! Go Amazon!

This has a lot of recipes but a lot of them you normally wouldn't make at home, things you never heard of. Where is one with normal sauces, gravies, marinades real people make at home?

I sometimes don't know what sauce to use when I cook fish, chicken or beef and this book has helped me find great sauces. I highly recommend this book for all sauces and dressings.

I already have this book, but ordered a second one for my daughter. The salad dressings are wonderful and as a person who doesn't buy sauces, salad dressings etc, at the grocery store, this book has become my favourite.

disappointed.
