Main Menu

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.

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 it into bouillon cubes.
