I made the romenesco soup today and it was delicious!!!!! The only thing I added was a green bell because it was at it’s peak and needed to be eaten. Thank you so much for sharing these and giving us hope in these hard times. Sending so much love your way. I give it the highest rating.
Thanks for putting together a collection of immune boosting, plant based recipes. I have tried some of your vegan recipes and they are all delicious. I am sending a link to this page to my daughter who, although not vegan, has had to self isolate for two weeks, after coming back from her holiday in Japan to Australia.
Hi. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sending the recipes. I do not have all the ingredients at home in most cases, but I love getting these emails with the beautiful photographs.
Thank you!
Keep safe and healthy
