Building a kitchen larder is like getting geared up to go out in the snow. You can skip a few steps and maybe go out without gloves, but you’ll probably be cold and end up wishing you brought them along. In this section, think of the following recipes as a guide to greatness. These base recipes are a collection of best practices that will give your dishes that “restaurant-level” quality that you’d get at Greens. Many can be made ahead of time and stored so you always have incredible flavors at your fingertips. Of course, you can always make substitutes for these recipes as needed, but if you have the time, why not give them the full Greens treatment?
