average rating is 5 out of 5

Beloved for its nutty tang and velvety texture, this tamari dressing is a crowd favorite. Nutritional yeast lends creaminess, garlic brings warmth, and olive oil ties everything together. A drizzle of sesame oil deepens the flavor, while lemon juice adds brightness if you’d like to lift it further. It’s a dressing that feels equally at home on a green salad, spooned over grain bowls, or used as a dip for fresh vegetables.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
