Cooking from scratch saves a lot of money, and because you’re not relying on packaged foods, it’s more eco-friendly, too. In this chapter, you’ll learn to make your own pizza crust, breads, dressings, sauces, and more. We also love making our own nut milk (see Almond Milk on page 224).
Three of our absolute favorites are our homemade Pesto (page 227), which can be used on pasta, crostini, sandwiches, and wraps; our Marinara Sauce (page 228), which will take your pasta to another level; and our Mushroom Gravy (page 231), which is always a big hit at the holidays. Enjoy!
