We’ve all been there — reaching into the backs of our pantries and cabinets for something, anything that could constitute a balanced meal. Too tired to go to the store, you scan your kitchen and spot a head of garlic, canned tomatoes, dried seasoning and some vegetable scraps. You’re smartly stocked-up on wine — to drink, but you think you can sacrifice a cup to the gustatory goddesses. And, with the help of a generous helping of olive oil and butter, you’re already well on your way to the sort of simple, fresh pasta sauces that define Italian cuisine.
We asked health-conscious private chef and cooking instructor Blaire Flory — a k a The Compliant Cook — for a little help with that. Flory, who has celiac disease, designs vegetable-heavy dishes that are free of gluten and grains, and low on sugar. Flory, a consummate hostess who would prefer to be throwing a dinner party at her home in Los Angeles instead of practicing social isolation to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, has three pantry-ready sauces (pesto, marinara, Lemony Garlicky Butter Sauce) to inspire a gourmet dining experience at home, with family, roommates or just by yourself — because you deserve the finer things, too.
