Josie Murphy on 2026-09-25 (5 stars): This was absolutely delicious! My friends who are vegetarian absolutely LOVED IT! I will be making this for my gravy all the time. Consistency is perfect, flavor is incredible!!
Trudy Jones on 2026-09-23 (5 stars): I love this recipe and make it weekly to have in the fridge for mashed potatoes or rice. Because I batch cook and freeze ingredients for the most part - I'm wondering if this freezes well. I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask. Also, if I added a shitake mushroom powder, should I increase the broth? Love all of your recipes!
Danielle M on 2026-09-17 (5 stars): I was looking for the quickest and simplest vegan gravy recipe and found this. Wow! Literally it was made within five minutes and it’s fabulous. Thank you so very much.
Shelbie McTevia on 2026-09-08 (5 stars): Seriously, stop it! This is the best gravy ever! I’ve made it several times. I am vegetarian but my family is not. They all love it. My dad had no idea it’s vegetarian. He loves it just as much as any meat gravy. I suck in the kitchen so bad and can cook nothing but this, I can do!! I didn’t make enough the first time so last minute added in a cheap mushroom gravy packet and a cup of water. Holy delicious!! Thank you so much for this heavenly recipe!! 😍
Meg on 2026-08-14 (5 stars): YUM!!! This is a fabulous recipe! We had it with some veg & mashed potatoes and it was incredible! Will definitely be having again!!!
Caroline on 2026-07-12 (5 stars): Thank you Nora - this is the best vegan gravy ever!
I love this gravy so much - I could eat it by the spoonful! For the vegetable broth I use McCormick vegan “Chicken Style” Vegetable Bouillon, and I will sometimes add a spoonful of toasted sesame oil if I want to make it extra rich. The addition of Dijon mustard is really inspired!
P.s. your tofu marinating and grilling recipes are also among my favourites - and my non-vegan family loves them too.
Anna on 2026-04-23 (5 stars): Currently pregnant and in the midst of morning sickness, I am for some reason craving gravy and mashed potatoes haha! Successfully just made this!! I didn't have dijon mustard or onion powder, and only had 1/2 of the nutritional yeast on hand but it still came out delicious! Thank you for this recipe :)
Aditi Daga on 2026-04-17 (5 stars): Gorgeous! Quick. Easy. Delicious. X
Ian Wilson on 2026-04-10 (4 stars): Looking for a vegan recipe for a guest who doesn't like the bits of onion in my usual one. Made one with all your ingredients (didn't mention the onion powder!) but I made a roux - so added oil which does equal more calories - with the flour as it always improves the flavour. Certainly was a success.
Ashley on 2026-04-09 (5 stars): This gravy is exactly as it says easy!!! And it’s delicious I made it as is and it’s wonderful but also a great base if you want to try different variations! I made it again tonight and added a little poultry seasoning( that I have no other use for but had for a different gravy recipe which was not a good one lol) but it turned out really delicious! I loved that it’s all ingredients that I normally always have on hand and it’s ready so quickly!
