Dips and Dressings

There is a reason the dip disappears before anything else at a party. And why a really good dressing can turn a bowl of greens into something you’re actually excited to eat. And don’t even get me started on a gravy from a good pan dripping (or no drippings!)

All three do the same job when you think about it. They take something good and make it irresistible. A crunchy vegetable platter becomes an event. Pour a real pan gravy over a roast and, well, you get the idea. That’s what this section is about.

The store bought stuff is fine in a pinch. But once you’ve made your own, it’s hard to go back.
