Fried Shallots? I’m in!
If you’ve read some of my blog posts during COVID-19, you’ll know that my family and I have had no shortage of recipes, dishes, and products to try during this time. Often, and this is a good thing, we find so many new hits that it’s hard to keep track of all of them. Today…
Almost there! Almost there…
There’s no doubt that vegan substitute food options are rapidly emerging nowadays, but when you can’t use any part of the product you’re trying to replicate, just how close can you get to the real thing?
