hot for food all day

Introduction


Well, here we are again, my friends. I really couldn t do this without you and your enthusiasm for hot for food and the vegan food I make. In fact, it s SO moving that I wanted to put myself through the madness of making a second cookbook because of it.

But if you re new here, I ll give you the lowdown.

A RECIPE?! isn t really a formal recipe but a rough, adaptable blueprint. When testing and developing delicious stuff, I have to make things up as I go and then do it again to finesse the amounts and tweak things so they re perfect. It s all very intuitive, so I try to encourage this kind of thing for anyone because it s how one really learns how to cook. And because I m a recipe developer, I always have bits and pieces of
