Homemade Extras and Basics

Final flourishes and strong basics are the glue that hold these recipes together—they add character, texture, wow-factor, and often, increase the nutritional profile. A simple sauce or dressing can act as a nod to a country’s cuisine, adding richness, depth, and sating power. While most of the bowls in this book have their sauces, dressings, and condiments on the same recipe page, this chapter includes the everyday extras that will feel at home in your kitchen (and in your bowl) any time of year. Furthermore, this section includes a guide to roasting nuts, making nut butter, pressing tofu, and a handy whole grain cooking chart. Employ any of these bonuses using The Whole Bowls Formula for something completely new and appealing to you.
