Sometimes all it takes is a good sauce or condiment to transform a meal from simple to sensational. That's what this chapter is all about.

Let recipes like Spicy Tomato Achar, Hoisin–Peanut Sauce, or Lemon–Cashew Cream Sauce perk up tofu, tempeh, or noodles. Turn sautéed seitan into a savory main dish with Sienna Sauce or Country Gravy with Bits of Onion. Both of these brown sauces are also great over mashed potatoes or cooked grains. The Three-Nut Cheeze Whiz is a real whiz in the kitchen—use it on nachos, over roasted or steamed vegetables, or tossed with pasta.

If you're looking for a great marinade for vegetables, tempeh, tofu, or seitan, try the Hoisin–Miso Marinade. Rounding out the chapter is a luscious fruit chutney, two kinds of dipping sauces, and the versatile Mix-and-Match Pesto. When it comes to sauces and condiments, this chapter has it all.
