Sauces and Dressings:
Instructions to make each of these are within other recipe posts. In addition to their use in the recipe, I  also list other usage ideas in parentheses.

• Cheezey Sauce* (vegan cheese sauce that works well in pastas, on breads & bagels, or mixed with veggies. Easily varied in thickness by adding more non-dairy milk.) 
• Eggplant Creme (spread on sandwiches, crackers, or bread) 
• Mango Guacamole*
• Maple-Dijon Marinade* (use in stir-fry or on tofu or tempeh)
• Marina Sauce* (pastas, veggies, anywhere you need a nice thick marina!)
• Miso Sesame Dressing (salads)
• Mushroom Gravy with Truffle Oil* (great over roasted cauliflower, or wherever you need gravy!)
• Nota-Ricotta (ie, vegan tofu-based ricotta; use in place of regular ricotta for non-dairy fare!)
• Pineapple Salsa*
• Sesame Soy Dressing (salads, tofu, soba noodles)
• Sweet & Tangy Asian Sauce (use in stir-fry or on tofu or tempeh)
• Tamarind Sauce (a sweet sauce that works well in an Asian-style stir fry or with rice)
• Tomato Jam (use on breads, veggies, tofu)
• White Sauce* (pastas, veggies, as a base for a vegan hot artichoke dip; this sauce ROCKS!)
