December 24, 2015 at 5:00 amI have to say that me, too, I could see myself trying the “Julia and Julie” approach ! I have never cooked anything from your recipes that we didn’t like or that did not turn out well. Last night I prepared the flat bread with zucchini, from a previous post, for a Ful Nabed (fava bean soup), and it was delicious. “Sadly” there were no leftovers…, and mind you, we are not a vegan household. Thank you, Richa, for all your work, to the benefit of your readers. Have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Greetings from Germany,
WR
