March 17, 2017 at 11:57 amhi. 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. 😉

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
