Spicy Tomato Cream Sauce
This spicy tomato cream sauce is an Indian recipe that goes wonderfully with hard-boiled eggs and warm bread (such as naan, pita, or French bread). It's also nice with rice, pasta, or polenta.
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.

Using Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Oil
Flaxseeds 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.
Vegetable Stock Ⓥ
Vegetable stock can be used to replace the meat stock or water in just about any recipe. It adds a hint of flavor and extra nutrition to soups, risotto, and more. This very basic recipe is really just a guideline - there is no right or wrong recipe for vegetable stock. You can add just about anything.
Walnut Sauce Ⓥ
Walnut sauce, or salsa ni noci, is a classic but somewhat hard to find Italian sauce. It's wonderful on stuffed pastas like ravioli and tortellini.
