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!

Breakfast / Easy Recipes / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Cashew Yogurt

It couldn't be simpler to make this creamy vegan yogurt out of cashews and probiotic powder.
Seitan recipes
Easy Recipes / Main Courses / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Chicken-Style Seitan

A moist, tender seitan that makes a perfect chicken substitute in just about any recipe.
Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / Flexible Recipes / Quickies / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Chickpea Flour

Whether you're gluten-free or just enjoy cooking with specialty flours, you can save money by grinding your own with a high-speed blender.
Asian Recipes / Drinks / Easy Recipes / Indian Recipes / Latin American Recipes / Quickies / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Coconut Milk

Instead of buying canned coconut milk, make your own. It's fast and easy, plus you know exactly what's in it.
Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Cornmeal

Save money and use up unpoppable popcorn by grinding your own cornmeal with a high-speed blender.
Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / French Recipes / Quickies / Salads / Soups / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Croutons

Homemade croutons are a snap to make!
Drinks / Easy Recipes / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Cultured Cashew Buttermilk

Raw cashews and rejuvelac make a delicious non-dairy, cultured buttermilk.
Condiments & Dressings / Easy Recipes / Quickies / Raw / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Flaxseed Mayonnaise

Ground flaxseed blended with cashew milk and oil makes an amazingly mayonnaisey eggless mayonnaise.
Breads & Grains / Easy Recipes / Mexican / Tex-Mex Recipes / Quickies / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Flour Tortillas

These flour tortillas are quick and easy, but don't skimp on the resting times - they are the key to soft, pliable tortillas. Use olive oil to make vegan tortillas.
Breads & Grains / Classic Recipes / Colorful Recipes / Comfort Food / Flexible Recipes / Gourmet Recipes / Italian Recipes / Kids' Recipes / Staple Recipes / Vegan Recipes

Fresh Pasta

Making fresh pasta takes less than an hour and you can't beat it for taste and texture. Kids will love the different color possibilities.
