Hi, do you know if this gravy keeps well? Will it be as good if I make beforehand, store in fridge and heat up when I need?
This gravy keeps well for up to a week in the fridge. Just re-warm, add a little water if too thick, stir and serve. Hope this helps!
My gravy came out with lumps of flour. How did you make it so smooth?
If it was a little chunky, use a whisk to really get it smooth, or even an immersion blender to make it really smooth. Hope that helps!
Love this gravy. Will never buy granules again!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! I’m so glad you love the gravy!

So easy and delicious!
This is now my go to gravy. And I’m a gravy addict. Love it thank you
I made the GF version of this gravy and omitted the onion powder because of my dietary requires.
The flavour way amazing!
However brown rice flour wasn’t a good gluten free sub, the rice semi cooked and gave it a weird gluggy, not quite gritty texture. I’m going to keep making the gravy but use tapioca starch or cornflour to thicken.Â
All in all it’s great gravy though.
Made this for Christmas, it was amazing!! My new go-to gravy. 🙂
I’m thrilled this is your new go-to for gravy! Thank you for sharing your great review!
This recipe is absolutely incredible. What a find!! Â Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the gravy! Thank you for sharing your fantastic review!
Absolutely wonderful. Made a vegetarian Christmas dinner for the family this year but couldn’t go without gravy. This recipe worked as a perfect substitute — the whole family loved it!
I’m so glad you guys loved the gravy! Thank you for taking time to share your wonderful review!
Absolutely delicious!  I couldn’t believe how easy it was and had everything in my pantry. YUM
I make it with just water in place of the broth because the soy sauce and onion salt make it plenty salty enough for my palate. So I suggest you give that a go and then adjust the seasoning at the end if you need to.
The flavor and texture is fantastic, but oh my goodness – it’s so salty it’s literally inedible. I have no idea where I’m going wrong. My Better Than Bouillon is the reduced sodium kind, as is my tamari sauce. I’m so confused! This is the second time I’ve made it and it still comes out like I’ve dumped a half a cup of salt in it. I’ll have to try something else I suppose.
Try using McCormick bouillon cubes. They aren’t salty at all and come in ‘beef’ ‘chicken’ and vegetable flavour, all of which are vegetarian. You can get usually it on amazon and it works great in this and every other recipe that needs bouillon. Hope this helps!

Wow so easy and delicious. Somehow, I knew this was going to be amazing before I made it because all of your recipes are. It’s so tasty and easy. As are your other recipes!
Just made your vegan pie crust, the best pie crust ever… and filled it with apples, blackberries and blueberries! A big hit in our family.
Anyway, love this gravy!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and kind words! I’m so glad you love the gravy!
