Richa, I LOVE all your recipes and none of them have failed me on a first attempt! Always so delicious and flavourful. Last ommnomm: Thai Salad with Chickpea Carrot Crumble—utterly amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe internet is dumb. Sending love <3 !
Thank you Jillian. That thai salad is a favorite of mine too! Yes, indeed much easier to find all types with the soial media and and web.
DeleteShit, are you serious? That's seriously effed up, some people are horrible. I hope you don't let them get to you and keep developing and posting awesome recipes. I have a million food allergies and your recipes are lifesavers for me. Much love to you - Poornima
ReplyDeleteThank you Poornima. Its the web, all kidns of people can find you. I markthem all as spam or ban them
DeleteHi, Richa--
ReplyDeleteI have not eaten "meat" (as Americans so proudly refer to the cruelly slaughtered animals they eat every day) for almost five years now. My husband and I very recently decided to refrain from eating dairy and it has been one of the best decisions we've made as a couple. I don't usually comment on the web as I do not have a social media presence but seeing this post angered me and moved me to respond to you. I have barely touched the surface with your recipes and am SO GRATEFUL for your contribution! Similar to the previous post, I, too, hope you don't let these ridiculous people get to you--for your benefit and for your readers' of course :-P. Without your creativity and openness, us plant-based folks would be a lost cause. Born in the U.S. and of Central American decent, I feel you on points 4. and 5. C'est la vie, you can't make everyone happy, nor should you try too. : ) you, your partner, and your pup should come first.
Stay strong,
Mish
I know right. I usually just ignore them, or hide them or delete some.
DeleteThank you for the wonderful note and thank you for cooking up my recipes! All the best for your journey.
i love your recipes and your passion for animal welfare!! keep up the great work!! -- Bharati A
