Sauces

Sauce can make or break a recipe. You want it to be flavorful without overpowering the rest, or delicate enough to make whatever it tops taste even better. Here are my recipes for the best vegetarian and vegan sauces, from basic to exotic to the ultimate in creamy comfort food.

Apricot Cherry Compote

It's easy to make compote: just stew up some dried fruit and enjoy it with dessert.

Arugula Pesto

Pesto is traditionally made with basil, but other herbs and greens can be equally delicious. Arugula pesto is peppery and slightly spicy - try it with pasta for a simple summer meal.

Barbecue Sauce

Easy recipe for a tangy barbecue sauce.

Béchamel Sauce

This simple white sauce goes well with flavorful vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts, and in lasagne.

Berry Sauce

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

Bouillon Cubes

Making stock is a great way to use up veggies, but if you're not planning to make soup right away, it can cause storage issues. Solution? Make concentrated stock and freeze into bouillon cubes.

Cashew Alfredo Sauce

Cashew cream makes a rich and delicious vegan alfredo sauce.

Cashew Béchamel

Thick and creamy sauce for casseroles, pasta, and veggies.

Cashew Cream

Blend up cashews with water to replace cream in soups, sauces, and desserts.

Cashew Mozzarella Sauce

Not so much a sauce as a melted-mozzarella-like topping for pizza, pasta, and casseroles.
