Hi Richa,

I bought a copy of Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen and can’t put your book down. I’ve made 6 meals and loved each one. My sister is a chef; she looked at the book and immediately bought a copy. She too thinks highly of your skills. I’ve been eating vegan since I retired 3 years ago and am enjoying everything about it. Thank you Richa for your cooking knowledge and willingness to share it with others. Liz
Thats amazing!!! I am so glad everything is turning out well. Thank you for this wonderful note!
These recipes look wonderful…. but when I see a picture of one I would like to try… I am having trouble connecting the picture with a recipe in the list…. Is there any way to click on a picture and have the recipe come up?
