ONE
SIMPLE PREPARATIONS

Before we dive into the incredible recipes we’ve created for you, I wanted to first share ten flavor-makers that you’ll use in many of the recipes throughout the book. I love them all, but two of my favorites are Savory Spice Blend, a seasoning mix that not only adds enormous zest, but is salt-free, and Umami Sauce, another flavor enhancer that is a delicious alternative to soy sauce preparations such as stir-fries and sautés.

Also in this chapter are recipes for making your own almond milk and vegetable broth, a healthy version of Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on pasta dishes, date syrup, balsamic glaze, and ranch dressing, as well as simple instructions on how to roast garlic.
