Saucy: 50 Recipes for Drizzly, Dunk-able, Go-To Sauces To Elevate Everyday Meals

The same way the right accessory can turn an old outfit into something new, adding the right sauce to a tried-and-true dish can transform it into something deliciously different. That is the culinary premise of the debut cookbook from home cook Boyd, creator of the Pink Owl Kitchen blog. She offers 50 different sauce recipes arranged by type (creamy, herby, tomato-based). Recipes range from reliable favorites such as zesty green goddess and chunky marinara to new variations on classics, such as basil-pistachio pesto and roasted-beet hummus. Cooks with a sweet tooth need not worry; the book also includes a section of dessert sauces such as brown-sugar peach sauce. Each recipe includes serving suggestions. The book’s exceptional graphic design extends from the cleanly laid out recipes to the vivid color photographs that showcase each sauce.
