Starting with French classics such as mayonnaise, hollandaise and veloute sauces, he covers all the basics and then suggests variations such as adding orange to a hollandaise or olives to a bearnaise.

In later chapters entitled Europe, the New World, Asia, the Pacific Rim and East meets West he casts his gaze round the world to embrace everything from pesto to Thai ketchup and Creole salsa.

There's also a chapter devoted to sweet sauces.
