Substitutions: Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness.
Serving: Toss with leafy greens, drizzle over roasted vegetables, or use as a dip for bread.
Make-ahead: Keeps in the fridge up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
Leftovers: If dressing separates, simply shake or whisk before serving.

Same base, blended with ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or nondairy yogurt) in place of part of the olive oil for a velvety texture.

Homemade vinaigrettes always bring freshness to the table. This one balances tangy apple cider vinegar and sharp Dijon mustard with maple syrup’s gentle sweetness. Garlic deepens the flavor, while olive oil smooths everything into a glossy emulsion. Fresh thyme makes a fragrant addition if you’d like to carry the dressing into heartier salads or use it as a dip with warm bread.

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.
