This is a set of master recipes that are easy to cook and make use of the ingredients on hand. The list is organized by type of dish, and each item is linked to the actual recipe. These are the recipes I use for weeknight cooking when I want to put dinner together fast without consulting a cookbook.

- Compound Butter – For flavoring scrambled eggs, chicken and fish, or just as a spread.
- Garlic Confit/Oil – Use to make vinaigrettes, marinades, mayonnaise or just for sauteeing.
- Pesto - Not just for using up herbs, pesto can also be made with cooked vegetables like asparagus, spinach or mushrooms, or with sun-dried tomatoes. Vary the cheese and nuts as well. Pesto also makes a great pasta sauce or spread for snacking or sandwiches.
- Salsa - Puree and fry for a Mexican-style sauce. Leave chunky and raw for a great dip or relish.
