Frequently Asked Questions
I love your recipes! Do you have a cookbook?
Not yet! While a cookbook is definitely on my culinary bucket list, I'm currently focused on building my recipe collection here on the blog. I'm exploring cookbook opportunities for the future, and if you'd like to be the first to know when that happens, make sure to sign up for my newsletter. Your enthusiasm and support mean the world to me and are what make projects like a cookbook possible!
Can I adjust the spice level of some recipes?
Absolutely! I understand everyone has different spice preferences, which is why most of my recipes include notes on how to adjust the heat level. Generally, you can reduce or increase the amount of ingredients like chili flakes, hot sauce, or pepper. For dishes where spice is central to the flavor profile, I provide specific guidance on maintaining the dish's character while adjusting the heat. Remember: it's always easier to add more spice later than to try to cool down an overly spicy dish!
Do you have the nutrition information for your recipes?
Yes! I include nutrition information at the bottom of each recipe card. These estimates are automatically calculated based on the ingredients listed and should be considered a general guideline rather than exact values. If you're following a specific diet or have health concerns that require precise nutritional data, I recommend using your favorite nutrition calculator with the exact products you're using, as brands and specific ingredients can vary significantly in their nutritional content.
