wow I just looked at your extensive list of recipes, thank you. I saw the comment on another page about lamb not being vegan. I am new to this community and I’ve had some doubts. I left a group because there was comments on how people should die because they held a pig roast. I love pigs, but I want to work on compassion for “all” creatures. The point is there seems to be some severe extreme militia type points of view in this community. This could lead to someone seeing the word lamb and being offended. At the very least I think putting the word Lamb in quotation marks would empathize the veganization of the dish. Anyway, I’ll be checking out your recipes.
I am so impressed with your seemingly endless list of recipes!! These all sound and look so delicious and the best part is that they are vegan!! I will definitely be making MANY of these recipes! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!!
I tried your Tofu Makhani. It came out very well. Thank You!!!
Awesome, thanks for letting me know, Anu. 🙂
Love your recipes. They will definitely be staple in my kitchen. Healthy eating is my game.
Thank you.
