A white sauce with mushrooms and parsley.
Even though this sauce is rather plain it can be the basis for a lot of other recipes. Why not try it alongside a tomato sauce in a lasagne or with steamed green veg?
Vegan: Use plant-based milk and vegan butter or margarine for the white sauce.
Gluten-free: Works well with gluten-free flour, such as rice flour.

An uncooked Cranberry Sauce with orange zest and juice.
Usually, fresh cranberries are very hard to find in the shops around here. So when I spotted some it was clear which recipe to try today 🙂
This cranberry sauce is really fruity with a tangy orange taste- perfect! Depending on the variety of cranberries you get, the colour of the sauce might not be bright-red but a little lighter. The taste is still great!

A quick and basic brown sauce that can be made both gluten-free (use gluten-free flour, such as rice flour) and vegan (use vegan butter or margarine). Great as a start for many variations, e.g. with red wine, with mushrooms, with different herbs, with roasted veg…

A Barbecue Sauce for marinating TVP burgers and sausages before grilling them over the barbecue.
I used this sauce for marinating some TVP “pulled chicken”, which I then fried in a pan- great taste!
The recipe gives you a large quantity of BBQ Sauce and as it is not cooked it will not keep well. Unless you are planning a big party, I would recommend only using one third or half of the ingredients to make a smaller batch.
We also found the sauce great to serve the TVP “chicken”- just drizzle over the TVP before eating.
Variations: As the tomato ketchup is quite sweet already, I only used 30g of sugar but found that this was still too much. Next time, I would add no extra sugar to the recipe. Depending on what you want to marinate, you can also reduce the amount of oil in the recipe to 3 tbsp.
For a smokey flavour, try adding 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika powder and use 1 tbsp of soy sauce instead of salt.
