This is a very good recipe book for anyone that wants to create their own sauce. There are so many great recipes in here! Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest feedback!

All the sauces....

This is all the tasty, yummy saices.
From fresh, cooked, simmered and inventive.
Great for fresh ideas to revitalize your pasta experience.
Recommend.

Some delicious recipes in this book. I felt the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed experimenting.

So many amazing pasta sauces I didn’t know existed. Every home cook should have this in their home library. Would totally recommend other librarians to keep this one stocked too. This book is gold!

This is a cookery book of almost 200 pasta sauce recipes.

There are 8 chapters in this cookery book plus an introduction and glossary:
- Vegetable Sauces (48)
- Pesto (8)
- Tomato Sauces (11)
- Cheese & Egg Sauces (14)
- Ragus (40)
- Fish & Seafood Sauces (33)
- Meat Sauces (20)
- The Basics (5)

The recipes have both imperial and metric measurements, the number of servings, steps to follow, and what it goes best on and well with.

Though there colour photographs throughout the book, it consists of places and ingredients rather than any of the finished dishes.

I almost felt disappointed when it came to which pasta to choose as many of the recipes just said any. I had high hopes that it would have been a little more specific as I always thought it was important to pair the pasta correctly with the sauce.

Overall it's a nice book, but one that lacks in a couple of places I think.

NOTE: This book was originally published in 2016 under an Italian title.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

This book makes me want to go to Italy! I love the fact that it gives so many sauce options that you can use when you get bored of using the same one all of the time!

This is a must for anyone who loves pasta and having this book I am sure there will always be an inspiration to find for whenever the question What are we eating? is popping out.

An easy to read recipie book with striking bold colours. I especially enjoyed the cover and would recommend to food lovers.

Thank you for the arc.

I’m afraid to say the main effect of this book is to teach me what I want in cookbooks, with this not being it. The idea of an encyclopedic cookbook on a particular area sounds good but when you’re reading slight variations on the same thing over and over, nothing stands out. There is no seduction of the palate. There’s no seduction of the eyes either as there’s no pictures, which also makes it very difficult to tell if you’ve done it right. There’s too many people who really want to persuade me to eat their recipes to bother much with those who aren’t. I handed an asparagus and almond sauce to a friend, who was thoroughly confused by the rather brief instructions and produced something she rather liked as a dip but not at all as a pasta sauce. Can’t recommend this at all.

This is a delightful cookbook. I've made several recipes and they were all good. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.

This was a great sauce cookbook with unique and tasty recipes. My husband and I made four or five sauces and they were all great. I was surprised how diverse you could get with pasta sauces and we can't wait to try more.

Wow, this is a really great cookbook! I've been wanting to branch out from my spaghetti sauce rut and this book is perfect for that. I find with food prices going up pasta is a meal I can usually make that fits the budget, and having more options for sauces is awesome. Usually I'll find four or five recipes I want to try in a cookbook , but this one has so many more. One thing I especially liked was that the author writes what the sauce would go well with, over péne, vegetables, pizza etc.

Fabulous presented book encompassing many pasta sauces, sauces that are not well known and others that are longtime favorites. Starting with Healthy and Vibrant Vegetable sauces, including my father"s favorite Asparagus and Almond sauce. Next is a group of recipes to make various pesto and the next chapter is about tomato sauces. My favorites follow with egg and cheese sauces, and this is followed with the time honored ragu sauces. Lastly there are two chapters, one each on seafood sauces and hearty meat sauces.
Each recipe are easy and have suggestions of " goes well on " and "best on". The book ends with three very basic sauces, plan, tasty and done well, the best there is.
The book is well photographed, easy to access ingredients and simple to make. A very good book on sauces.
Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC

Wow I thought I knew a lot about sauces but this book showed me I was wrong! There’s a lot I won’t use but even that there are a TON of amazing options. Very cool

This was ok. Unfortunately some ingredients I can’t get in my town.
I would give this to someone I know who lives in the big city and have more access to ingredients

This is an absolute must for those who love pasta. Jam packed with almost 200 recipes, you will never be short for inspiration and stuck with the same old basil and tomato sauce again.
Although the sauces are relatively quick to make, they all are for quite large volumes. When cooking for one or two, it would be useful to have storage suggestions either time in fridge or freezer to minimise wastage of ingredients

This is a beautiful cookbook. The author does a great job defining terms, the pictures are beautiful, and the recipes are not the same old thing.

The complete book of pasta sauce is a great book filled with interesting recipes. I truly enjoyed reading it and many of the recipes look delicious.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for e-ARC of the book.

The Complete Book of Pasta Sauces is a wonderful selection of sauces for every occasion and meal. The Readers Guide is full of useful information on where to use these sauces, how to boil different type of pastas and so much more. Some recipes are only 2 steps long, and others may have only 3-4 ingredients. This book is full of recipes for every taste and level of culinary skill. This guide would make a great gift for both a beginner cook and adventurous more seasoned one.

Loved this book as I learned about some new pasta sauces and I love Allan Bay style of writing.
Easy to follow, great recipes.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
