  “A book you’ll use every day. . . . Think of these sauces as a culinary bag of tricks. I do.” —Dorie Greenspan, James Beard Award winner and New York Times–bestselling author of Around My French Table   Mastering sauces can take your cooking to a whole new level. Award-winning food writer Martha Holmberg was trained at La Varenne, and in Modern Sauces she tackles this sometimes-intimidating subject—using clear, short bites of information and dozens of process photographs to deliver the skill of great sauce-making to every kind of cook, including beginners.   More than 100 recipes for sauces range from standards such as béarnaise, hollandaise, and marinara to modern riffs including maple-rum sabayon, caramelized onion coulis, and coconut-curry spiked chocolate sauce. An additional fifty-five recipes use the sauces to their greatest advantage, beautifying pasta, complementing meat or fish, or elevating a cake to brilliant. Organized by ingredient and method, Modern Sauces is both an inspiration and a timeless reference on kitchen technique.   “In a clear and encouraging voice, she explains how to season, store, portion, and improvise on classic sauces . . . Easily Holmberg’s best cookbook to date, this uses delicious recipes—like the outstanding Rice Pudding with Cardamom Meringues, Lime Crème Anglaise, and Chunky Mixed-Berry Coulis—to put essential skills in context.” —Library Journal

  For centuries, humans have been using herbal remedies to treat a wide variety of ailments. These natural plant-based medicines contain active compounds that can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and promote healing. One of the most well-known types of herbal remedies is tea, made from leaves and flowers steeped in hot water for several minutes to extract their properties. 
  Other popular herbs used for medicinal purposes include ginger, turmeric, and peppermint, all of which are known for their anti- inflammatory effects as well as their ability to settle nausea or upset stomachs. Whether you’re looking for relief from cold symptoms or an extra boost of energy, there’s no doubt that herbal remedies can be highly effective at improving your health and well-being. 
  While herbal remedies are generally safe for most people to use, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before using them, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications.
