Hi Alena
Your recipes look absolutely wonderful! I’m currently going (almost-) vegan (from being an almost life-time vegetarian); these recipes are SO inspiring and appetising. I’m planning to produce a vegan Easter feast based on these recipes, for a dear friend / neighbour who is in my household ‘bubble’. She is NOT vegan (or even ‘veggie’)…we won’t tell her until after the meal that every dish is plant-based. Many thanks for your inspiring recipes. Geoff, Somerset, England, UK.
that sounds fantastic, Goeff! Thank you so much for sharing, this made my day so much brighter :)
