🙂 thank you!
When is your next book coming out? I own your first two books and can’t get enough of your recipes and I’m so excited about the next book that you may write.
🙂 I dont know yet. It takes a while to write a book with the whole planning, concept, organization, testing, editing, then more editing, marketing etc. I am working on one, but havent signed on a date yet. I keep publishing new stuff onthe blog, you can print some of them 🙂
Richa, love your recipes, love that you use the instapot too. makes my plant based heart so happy.
Do you have a particular brand of spices that you recommend?
I usually get some from the local world spice store which has organic spices. Frontier or simply organic or penzeys are great too
