Overall, an excellent resource for the home cook. This book is stuffed with recipes for sauces and condiments. I am excited to try a lot of them. And the author is right; add one of her sauces to a meal and it kicks it right up to gourmet! They only thing I didn't like was that she doesn't really say how long the sauces will keep and I'm not about to make ketchup every three days. Also, there's no index. As I said, though, this is a great addition to my cookbook stash and I'm inspired! I won this book in a good reads giveaway. And I'm glad I did!!!

This one surprised me. I was think it probably had about 50 recipes in it, but it came with over 300! This provides me with some incredible ideas to make for holiday gifts from my kitchen for my family and friends. It has not only basic condiment recipes, like pizza sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, but many gourmet ones that I can't wait to try!

I really like the idea of making my own condiments. Some of the recipes here are pretty amazing. They're well written and easy enough to follow. I found the introduction a little heavy-handed. I understand that something you make from scratch will always be superior and more traceable than something you buy in the supermarket, that's why I bought the book. However, it's a minor quibble really. I look forward to all manner of jams and sauces in the near future.

Good resource for cooks

Good variety of recipes and each with variations. From savory sauces to chutneys and compound butters, jellies and dessert sauces. Nothing too complicated for novice and experienced cooks alike.

I didn't think I was going to like this book at first, but when I reached the recipes that I was familiar with, I changed my mine. This is a great addition to my cookbook collection.

This book really has something for everyone. The basic starter recipes are wonderful for beginning cooks and all the variations will let the more well-versed cooks play around. There are seriously SO many recipes, I was happily surprised. I hate food books that only have a handful of recipes but this is not one of those! I really like the wide range of recipes too: sauces, chutney, jams, syrups, dressings, and more. I was a little surprised not to see a variation for balsamic vinaigrette, which seems like a must-include but that could just be me. Also, my only disagreement was I can't stand butter in tomato sauces. Oil only for me but I'm picky! All in all, a great go-to book for any condiment you can think of.
