"In our age, which probably will be tagged by future historians as
the age of oversimplification, [this] book on sauces will stand as
an important statement against the trend of no craftsmanship. At
the same time, it is great reading -- a book which I will enjoy for
many years to come."
-- George Lang, author of The Cuisine of Hungary "[Raymond Sokolov]
has found a way to systematize the different families of sauces --
something no one before has done -- and I found the whole concept
very exciting. This would be a useful book even in France." --
Simone Beck, author of Simca's Cuisine
