In this age of back-to-home-and-hearth, acclaimed three-star chef Michel Roux reveals professional secrets of French sauce-making.
Michel Roux presents over two hundred classic and contemporary sauces that transform the humblest dish into a masterpiece. Included are recipes for his latest innovations and centuries-old classics, such as hollandaise and béchamel, making this small-format compendium indispensable. Beginning with the “mother sauces” that provide the foundation for dozens of others, Roux shows how sauces provide the endless variations and continuing appeal of French cooking. Packed with tips (such as “always add cold water to stock”), this updated edition features over one hundred new photographs and twenty-five new recipes with completely revised and updated text.

The name is a culinary legend. Michel with his older brother Albert arrived in England in 1971 to open the original Le Gavroche Restaurant in Lower Sloane Street. The address was imprinted immediately onto the gourmets and gourmands across the country. By 1972 when they opened The Waterside Inn, they had another 3 restaurants in London, each a landmark in a city not then known for fine dining. Between them they have trained over 800 young chefs many of whom are now also legendary. Since 1984 the Roux Scholarship is undoubtedly considered the ultimate British competition for chefs. The Roux Scholar 2010 is Kenneth Culhane.
They were the first to sponsor young chefs into their own business, among them being Pierre Koffman at La Tante Claire and Christian Germain at Chateau de Montreuil in France. They were unique benefactors, as they not only organised the backers, personally guaranteed the chef’s bank loan, but wrote in the contract that no shareholder could refuse to sell their shares back to the Chef Patron!
Today the sons run the flagships. Albert’s son, Michel Roux Jnr at Le Gavroche and Michel’s son Alain is Chef Patron of The Waterside Inn. (http://www.waterside-inn.co.uk/)
