But a great sauce does not have to be complicated. Gone are the days when sauce meant mainly a concoction based on butter, flour, and reduced stock. This book celebrates a new generation of sauces that are simple to whip up and rely on fresh and healthy ingredients such as nuts, yogurt, and vegetables. Secret Sauces gives you an arsenal of "mother" sauces that fit today's kitchen and are infinitely adaptable. Each one can be made in advance and then customized to enliven different meals throughout the week. With every sauce comes a recipe for a full finished dish that's an ideal showcase, followed by many ideas for other uses. Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges come alive drizzled with Bengali Spiced Yogurt. Seared Red Snapper rises to a new level with Grilled Pineapple and Chipotle Salsa. Coconut Lemongrass Cream finishes off Fruit Kebabs. Most existing sauce books are written for the professional chef, but this book is aimed at the home cook. It removes the intimidation of traditional sauces and makes sauces approachable for everyone. Inspired by cuisines from around the world, these sauces bring a new level of excitement to any meal. Plus, they deliver maximum flavor with a minimum of effort. Review: Your food at home can be better than at a fine restaurant - For the last few years I’ve gotten more serious about cooking, inspired by the audacious goal that if you put some passion into it and have the right ingredients and tools, your food at home can be better than at a fine restaurant. To this end, I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting my low-and-slow BBQ technique on charcoal, and am having a blast with my Joule Souse Vide. But if you really want to impress your guests, you need the Secret Sauce. Case in point. I recently slow-cooked some corned beef on my charcoal grill to make pastrami. I then used that to make some Ruben sandwiches. But instead of squirting on some Kraft Thousand Island dressing, I put on a glob of Vanessa’s “Salsa Golf”. The result was the single best compliment I’ve ever got in my cooking. “Wow Roger, that was amazing. Food.Truck. Quality.” If I do say so myself, the smoked meat was incredible, but it was the *secret sauce* that put it over the edge. Recipe books typically focus on how to make the main dish, and might have a sauce recipe on the bottom as an afterthought. This book turns that whole concept on its head—it starts with the sauce recipe, and then gives a suggestion of what you could serve it with. The concept works amazingly well—it’s the kind of book where you start thumbing through the recipes and can’t stop reading. It isn’t just a list of recipes though—there are well-written explanations of what the recipes are trying to accomplish and why. I love the “extra credit” suggestions at the bottom of many of them that give a hint about how to make the sauce even better. The book is about learning how to experiment and make your food even better by kicking your sauces up a notch. The recipes are modern and fresh. Less garlic and an addition of mint in a chimichurri sauce? Mind expanding! The book would be a great gift. It is full of beautiful photos on high quality paper and high quality binding. You can tell I love this book. Get a copy for all of the foodies in your life!

Each sauce is paired with a recipe suggesting how it might be used, as well as "extra credit" ideas that riff on the sauce or give additional thoughts about how they might be used. But really, if you like the look of a sauce (and the photos are very tempting), you're encouraged to try it out on your own. Sauces are organized into 8 basic categories: Creamy, Tangy, Herby, Fruity, Nutty, Spicy, Chunky(i.e. salsas), and Confectionary. So far I've tried three of the sauces and all were quite successful. The Pistachio Créme was delicious with some seared char. I really like that the collection includes updated riffs on some classic sauces. For example, my family is strongly pro-anchovy, but for those that aren't, you might try Seder's Walnut and Sage Bagna Cauda. It's very rich and fragrant, and I can imagine pairing it with many meals. (OK, when I made it, I snuck in a few anchovies anyway.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/52020039-secret-sauces-fresh-and-modern-recipes-with-hundreds-of-ideas](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/52020039-secret-sauces-fresh-and-modern-recipes-with-hundreds-of-ideas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
