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!
