Staple Recipes

I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, rather than relying on store-bought items like non-dairy milk and nut butters. Here are my staple recipes that you’ll find linked from more complicated dishes throughout The Veggie Table.

Also see cooking tips for advice on peeling tomatoes, cleaning leeks, soaking beans, and lots more!

Appetizers & Side Dishes / Italian Recipes / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Almond Ricotta

Soft and fluffy with just a hint of sweetness, perfect for ravioli, lasagna, and cannoli.
Aquafaba mayonnaise

Aquafaba Mayonnaise

The richest, creamiest vegan mayonnaise you can imagine.
Appetizers & Side Dishes / Comfort Food / Easy Recipes / Italian Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Baked Polenta

I love polenta, but I hate cooking it on the stove. Turns out there's a ridiculously easy way to make it - in the oven!
Appetizers & Side Dishes / Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Basic Boiled Quinoa

Quinoa is faster, easier, and - in my opinion - tastier than rice. Give it a try!
Appetizers & Side Dishes / Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / Middle Eastern Recipes / North African Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Basic Couscous

Quick-cooking couscous makes a nice change from rice.
Asian Recipes / Classic Recipes / Main Courses / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Basic Seitan

Basic recipe for seitan. Feel free to experiment by adding herbs and spices to the dough.
Condiments & Dressings / Easy Recipes / Gourmet Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Summer / Vegan Recipes

Basil Oil

When you eat basil, don't throw those leafless stems away - use them to make a delicious basil-infused oil that tastes like summer.
Comfort Food / Flexible Recipes / French Recipes / Quickies / Sauces / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Béchamel Sauce

This simple white sauce goes well with flavorful vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts, and in lasagne.
Main Courses / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Beef-Style Seitan

An easy recipe for tender seitan that's perfect for making vegan braciole.
Brunch / Desserts / Easy Recipes / Flexible Recipes / Quickies / Sauces / Staple Recipes / Summer / Vegan Recipes

Berry Sauce

This sweet-tart sauce is wonderful on pancakes, French toast, and ice cream.
