I'm not a recession flexitarian yet — but my goal is to make today a meat free Monday. It seems easier for me to go light on animal protein at lunch, but dinner, my biggest meal, will be more challenging.

Not to worry: I found a hearty, meat-free alternative last night, and today, I'll be using the leftover beans to make an equally substantial Italian bolognese.

It's popular practice today for kitchens to focus on culinary traditions and heirloom techniques, and these days, chefs spend a lot of time extolling the virtues of slow produce and agriculture. But what about those prepared goods that are an essential component in our everyday meals, like ketchup, or pasta, or cheese?

That's why I'm starting a new series, Make Your Own, where I'll show you how to make homemade gourmet versions of ingredients that you normally but at the grocery store.
