hi. a friend just shared a recipe of yours which led me to investigate your site. very nice! as a GF vegetarian I found a few recipes I will definitely try. one in particular caught my eye, however there’s no link: Vegan Lentil Mushroom Bolognese – “Faux”-lognese. thought I would advise you, as I’m sure you would want to fix that. 😉
Hi Marianne, Tori’s assistant Ashley here! So glad you found and are enjoying the site! Thank you for pointing out the missing link for the “Faux”-lognese, I just fixed that. It’s a great recipe, by the way! 🙂
Ahh thank you! Holidays can be tempting for us vegetarians, but no more! Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait to try these out ! Love how most of these can have meat easily added for our omnivorous friends and family. 🙂
Tori,
So glad I ‘discovered’ your site. Your recipes and instructions are wonderful, but what pulled me in was your comments and photos which really make them come alive and clearly add to the overall professional, yet personal experience.
Thank you,
john
