CHEF JOHN'S TOMATO SAUCE
This is one of my most requested food wishes, my all-purpose basic tomato sauce. Whenever I make a meat sauce, this is my base. You can only stir this with a wooden spoon, otherwise it's bad luck.

Steps:
- Place olive oil, onion, celery, and a pinch of salt into a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Cook until onions are very soft, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix garlic into onion mixture and cook just until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
- Pour tomatoes and their juice into a large mixing bowl and use your hands to crush the tomatoes until they look pureed.
- Mix sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, anchovy paste, white wine vinegar, Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes into vegetable mixture. Raise heat to medium and cook just until liquid has evaporated. Stir in tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Pour in San Marzano tomatoes and parsley. Bring sauce to a simmer, turn heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, adding a little water as the sauce cooks down. Stir occasionally.

ALL-PURPOSE GREEN SAUCE
This tangy, creamy sauce is the perfect home for all those extra herbs you may have on hand from other recipes - that leftover sprig of mint, the stemmy part of that bunch of cilantro, the droopy basil. You can use any combination of soft herbs here; you'll need two packed cups altogether. And you don't have to limit yourself to herbs. Other flavorful, leafy options include arugula, celery leaves or pea shoots. For a vegan version, skip the yogurt and use more olive oil, along with a small squeeze of lemon for some acidity.

Steps:
- Place herbs, garlic and pepper in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.
- Add yogurt and purée until smooth. (This may take a minute or so; scrape down the sides of the container as needed.) With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Pulse in lemon zest and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Spoon over grilled or roasted chicken, seafood (especially shrimp and salmon), sausages, steaks, lamb chops and vegetables. Use as a marinade for chicken, lamb or pork; as a dressing for starchy salads with beans, potatoes or grains, or for hearty vegetable salads, like those with cucumbers or blanched and sliced sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve as a dip for crudité or chips. Spread in roast beef, lamb or pork sandwiches.
CONDIMENT ESSENTIALS: ANDY'S ALL-PURPOSE SAUCE
I call this sauce "all-purpose" because I have not found anything that I do not like it on, or dipped into. It is great for French fries, tater tots, onion rings, as a spread for a burger or a deli sandwich; one of my "lockdown" guests uses it as a dip for fish fingers. I love it drizzled on meatloaf. Like I said......

Steps:
- 1. You will need a bowl, whisk, and a good non-reactive jar with a tight-fitting lid, to make the recipe.
- 2. Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. This recipe, if properly stored, should last 2 - 3 weeks.
- 3. If you enjoy making your own spices and other bits, here are a few recipes for some of the ingredients used in this sauce: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=11 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/a-kinder-gentler-horseradish-sauce.html?r=2 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=2
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Whisk all the Main Ingredients together in a bowl, until combined.
- 6. Depending on how much you like pickle juice, add one teaspoon, then whisk and taste. Add more, one teaspoon more at a time, until you like what you are tasting.
- 7. Store in a non-reactive container in the fridge until ready to use. If you can, let it sit in the fridge overnight to allow the ingredients a chance to know one another.
- 8. PLATE/PRESENT
- 9. It is pretty all-purpose, so use your imagination... However, I would not recommend stirring it into your morning coffee. Enjoy.
- 10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
ALL-PURPOSE MEAT SAUCE
I learned how to make meat sauce by experimenting with different herbs and spices...my husband does not like bland food! I now make it for him and our three children-5, 3 and 22 months-at least once a week. -Sonja Fontaine, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and chop all of your vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This will save you time and ensure that your sauce is evenly cooked.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. Whenever possible, use organic and locally sourced produce.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add your own unique touches. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create a sauce that's perfectly suited to your taste.
- Let the sauce simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Be patient and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more seasoning later, but it's difficult to take it out.
