HERBS AND SPICES

Within the category of plants that we commonly call herbs, are herbs and evergreens. Herbs are annual, biennial, or perennial plants in which the stems die down to the ground after flowering.

VEGAN VS PLANT

You wouldn’t call seaweed vegan. Seaweed is seaweed all by itself. It’s a plant. You wouldn’t call tomatoes or blueberries or nuts vegan. They’re plants. RECIPES are vegan or not vegan, animal-free or animal-based. If the recipe contains no animal products, it’s vegan or animal-free. If the recipe contains some part of the animal, thenContinue reading “VEGAN VS PLANT”

RE: Preparation Times For Recipes

It takes a lot longer to develop a recipe than it does to replicate a recipe. For that reason the prep times are not given. To estimate the time for each procedure after the fact would not be accurate enough for my tastes. The number of ingredients aren’t necessarily an indicator of preparation time.
