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!

Walnuts ground up with spices make a delicious, raw filling for tacos.

Tahini

Store-bought tahini is expensive, especially considering that it's nothing more than puréed sesame seeds. If you have a high-speed blender, you can make your own tahini in minutes.

The Non-Dairy Evolution Cookbook

Using Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Oil

FlaxseedsFlaxseeds are very nutritious but very sensitive. They're great for baking and putting on top of warm foods, but should never be subjected to high heat like frying. Here are some easy and delicious ways to incorporate them into your diet.
