Once you own it, it will be in your "Library" from then on. The site features tons of books; prices range from free to $14.99. You can browse them but if you want the recipes you have to buy them. Some have as few as a one recipe in them (lame, I know) or as many as 120. Mine is definitely one of the biggest collections. I'm an overachiever that way.
You won't find the app in your iPhone apps, so if you don't have an iPad you can get it on your laptop by going to BakeSpace.com . In both cases you have to create a username and password and then log in.
I've noticed the website is more confusing to use than the app and I found it harder to find my book. If you type "Sauce du Jour" in the search box, it brings up only two recipes (Basil Pesto and Cilantro Pesto) You can navigate your way to the entire cookbook buy clicking on my name. Or try this link....I think it will get you there. No guarantees. If you buy it online you can pay by credit card.
Also there is now a widget on the right side of the
SdJ Blog home page, which will take you there.
The cover of the book looks like this! ↓
So for all you cool people who didn't get to come to the institution you can now bust out $3.99 and get all the recipes from those first 15 classes!
The following is the blurb which prefaces the book:
The Sauce du Jour Culinary Institution is a fun kitchen where cooking classes take place at a monthly gathering for a group of approximately twelve food-and-wine loving, really cool people. Each month features a different cuisine or ingredient; such as Thai, South American, Tex-Mex, Mediterranean, Southwestern, Bacon, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Pasta, Beer, and more!
The class is hands on with everyone pairing up and taking on different recipes, covering 4 to 6+ courses per class. The wine flows, the laughter ensues and we eat a lot of damn good food!
This cookbook includes all of the recipes from the SdJ Cooking Classes 101-115. Most of, but not all of the recipes are created right here in the SdJ kitchen. I'm not above stealing an idea but I do have principals and I would never call it my own if it wasn't so. I am an improvisational maniac in the kitchen, not only because I like to have my way with a recipe, but because I live in the sticks (and/or the islands) so ad-libbing isn't just an egocentric quirk, it's a necessity.
When I'm not creating my own recipes I like to cook restaurant dishes. I also LOVE me some Bobby Flay so some of his recipes are featured here as well. (Thanks Bobby, love ya, call me, mean it!) That being said, if they aren't my own reckless creations I've given credit where credit is due. Sauce du Jour also has a blog with many other great recipes and stories. It can be found at www.saucedujour.blogspot.com.
AUTHOR PAGE:
I am a relatively competent cook and a travel junkie who is also a white-knuckled frequent flyer. My friends would say that I am a crazy dog lady, while I prefer to think of myself as a zealous animal lover. I am also a published author, seriously type A, with a touch of OCD; a wife, mother and grandmother of a beautiful little girl named Paisley. She's my sous chef and I'm her Coco and I love her more than truffle oil.
I spent three years as a chef on a private charter yacht that my hubs (aka The Big Guy) and I operated in the BVI's. Living on a boat and working in a small galley challenges even the most accomplished chef, let alone some like me who is really just a serious foodie with a sophisticated palate. My cookbook, "Sauce du Jour, The Pisces Collection" is a compilation of about 40 recipes that I often served while on the boat. (blurb.com.) Recipe requests from guests was the inspiration behind it.
I write a food blog that has never won any awards but it does have a lot of damn good recipes on it, not to mention some funny stories. You can check it out at www.saucedujour.blogspot.com. I became a published author in 2011. My book, "When the Dust Settled" (Amazon, B&N) is getting great reviews and is soon to be made into a movie. Hollywood just doesn't know it yet!
Besides being a lucky wife, loving mom, adoring grandmother, and food snob, I consider myself to be a loyal friend, good party planner, wino, a workaholic, seriously sleep deprived, and a shopping fool with a shoe addiction. Oh, and I'm pretty funny too! I hope you enjoy these recipes and have as much fun making them as we did in the SdJ Culinary Institution. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding any of the recipes I've put here. Cheers!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Cooker or Caker: Cooker
Bake/Cook Frequency: Every day
Baking/Cooking Training: The Sauce du Jour Culinary Institution, where I am the head chef, knife thrower, salad tosser, wine pourer, and pot scrubber. Oh...and I can juggle; for real.
Favorite Food: I love almost all food, especially seafood, paninis, handmade pasta, and fresh veggies. About the only thing I won't eat is organ meats. I just CAN'T do it so don't even try to serve me liver, tongue, or head cheese. I will cut you! Don't make me!
Favorite Food Moment: Eating fresh caught lobster on Anegada with my toes in the sand and island beat playing in the background never gets old!
Favorite Cooking Word: Sauce du Jour, of course! It comes from the question asked every night in our house as I am plating dinner; "so what's the sauce du jour tonight?"
Favorite Restaurant: Spago, Beverly Hills ~ La Estacion, Puerto Rico, ~ Zengo, Osteria Marco, Denver ~ Joe's Stone Crab, Miami ~ Coco Maya, Giorgio's BVI's ~ Justus Drugstore, Smithville ~ Firefly, Las Vegas ~ Jungle Lobster House, Jamaica and so many more!
Favorite Chef: My Bobby Flay, Mark Miller, Michael Symon, Wolfgang, Mario, Giada (girl crush).
In My Town Try: My house! It's always open and something is always on the stove!
THINGS I'M IN TO
Interests: In no particular order:
Food, music, cooking, the Caribbean, reading, food, The Big Guy, scuba
diving, my dogs, food, chocolate, Paisley, travel, my daughters, food,
shopping, trap shooting, writing, oh...and food. Did I mention food?
Languages: English, this is AMERICA! Speak it!
Books: When the Dust Settled, The Glass
Castle, The Poisonwood Bible, The Alchemist, The Liars Club, To Kill a
Mockingbird, Wuthering Heights. Most of the classics and so many more.
My nose is always in a book!
Also, my Bobby Flay's cookbooks, Restaurant cookbooks, Bon Appetit.
Music: I love music; (everything from
Texas country to Jazz) maybe even more than food, and I listen to
everything except for rap, which instantly bums me out. Gimme some
blues, some old country or some classic rock and I'm a happy chef, but
put on that rap crap and I'ma goin' postal on someone.
TV/Movies: I'm not a big TV watcher or
movie fan because I can't sit still for that long, but my favorite movie
is "After the Sunset" and "Chocolat"...thinking....thinking....
Travel: The Caribbean, the US of A, the World
Clubs: None that I'd want to join if I were in them. I don't play nice with others.
I'm thrilled to be able to share the recipes this way! No need to drag papers or your binder along when you travel or if you get the sudden urge to make a recipe when you are at the grocery store and can't remember what all ingredients are in it. Thanks in advance! I'd be honored to have it added to your collection!
Bon Appetit!
Tammi
