Sauces, Dips, and Dressings
The quickest way to make a plain dinner taste planned. This collection covers pan sauces, garlic butter, vinaigrettes, and dips, with the ratios written down so you can scale them.
The first recipes are being tested now. Meanwhile, several finished recipes already teach their sauce inside the recipe, like the garlic butter sauce on the chicken bites.

Questions cooks actually ask
How long do homemade dressings keep?
Vinaigrettes keep about a week refrigerated. Dairy based dressings and dips keep 3 to 4 days. Each recipe states its window.
Why did my pan sauce break?
Usually the heat was too high or the butter went in too fast. Pull the pan off the heat and mount the butter a cube at a time. The recipes show the timing.
