ReviewsHaving penned four cookbooks, I am now into a new series about French cooking. I studied in France and Le Cordon Bleu, so it is only natural. The latest book, "The French Cook: Sauces" (Gibbs Smith), is a study of the world of classical French sauces. The five classical mother sauces are brought to the fore-front: bchamel, veloute, hollandaise, espagnole, and les sauce tomates. There are also chapters devoted to mayonnaise and stocks, since they are so widely used, easy to make, and integral to sauce making. I wrote the book because I love France and French cooking. The idea for the series came from my editor, Madge Baird. The truth is, I've always loved France, and much of the inspiration in this book comes from there.While writing the book, I tried to keep the needs of the home cook in mind, while also nudging them to do more than they think possible. Sauces are ultimately very simple, a series of reductions and layers of flavors to produce the consummate finishing touches for any meal.So, a simple stock becomes the base for a bchamel fortified lasagna with wild mushrooms and leeks or a rouille on toast points with a fish stew, and so on.I am very excited about the release of this book in March 2013. It will be available at bookstores near you and Amazon. Pre-publication ordering is available now. Holly Herrick is an acclaimed cookbook author and food writer who draws inspiration from the beauty and seasonal, local produce and delicious food and restaurants of her home town, Charleston, S.C. The second book in the series, "The French Cook: Cream Puffs and clairs," will come out in the fall of 2013.
