Secret Sauces

This inviting and useful cookbook by frequent Bluedot recipe contributor Vanessa Seder teaches you to make a wide array of sauces to elevate everyday dishes. It is not a book on classic mother sauces. Rather, it’s about light and fresh recipes, aimed at contemporary cooks looking for something new. It features eight sauce categories: Creamy, Tangy, Herby, Fruity, Nutty, Spicy, Chunky, and Confectionary. Recipes such as Walnut and Sage Bagna Cauda, Pomegranate-Lemon Reduction, and Coconut-Lemongrass Cream are perfect for the modern kitchen. Every sauce comes with tips for additional experimentation, as well as ideas for what the sauce should adorn.
