  2. Hi Silvia, I have made a number of your recipes – and they are all awesome!! I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a posting that has lunch ideas for the season, i.e., vegetables that are in season right now (February lunches, March luncversus listing salads that use vegetables that are not in season until the summer?

    1. Such a great idea Monica-let me think about this! In the mean time, you could also go to recipe page and filter using the catagories- for example click “winter” and “lunches” and see what shows up?

  3. I would like to order a copy of the 40 make ahead vegan salads with the photos and recipes. I cannot wait to make them all.
    thanks for your inspirations.
    Suzanne






    1. Hi Suzanne- thanks and sorry there is no way to order. Just click on each liink to be taken to that recipe. 🙂

I’m in a really comfortable space with my ability to play around with recipes and always find myself coming back here for something new or an old favourite! I can’t thank you enough, Sylvia!






  8. I was wondering if these 40 recipes are published in a cookbook at all? I would love to have all 40 of these recipes and printing them all out would be a hassle. I’d buy a cookbook if it existed though! Thanks.
