Frequently asked questions
How long do homemade condiments last?
Most vinaigrettes and vinegar-based sauces keep for 2 weeks in the fridge. Dairy-based sauces keep for 5–7 days. Each recipe includes a storage note.
Can I freeze homemade sauces?
Vinegar- and oil-based sauces do not freeze well — they separate. Dairy-based sauces can be frozen, but the texture may change. Pesto freezes beautifully.
What's the best way to emulsify a vinaigrette?
Whisk the vinegar and mustard together first, then drizzle in the oil slowly while whisking constantly. The mustard acts as an emulsifier.
