HI Phyllis - Sumac adds a citrusy flavor most like lemon, so just add grated lemon peel and a bit of lemon juie and it will achieve a similar taste profile! Hope this helps! Cheers, Caroline

Great question and if you want it, by all means, add it! As I always say, you do you but this version didn’t really need it and I prefer to shatter the finished dish with a bit of parm over the top instead! Cheers, Caroline

Hi and good idea… I totally agree because but secretly I have two types already. A regular vacuum sealer (which is a bit finicky with liquid things) and a new Zwilling system (which has boxes that would great!). Anytime I make soups or stews, I freeze them in reusuable plastic boxes and then, once frozen,vacuum seal them for the freezer which also works great! This time, Although less effective, I wanted to show a less expensive way for people who wouldn’t want to invest in a sealer, but I totally agree!

Oh dear, thanks so much for letting me know. I will look into it right away. In the meantime, if you are interested, send an email directly to me from the Contact page on the website and if it’s working, I will forward the PDFs to you right away. Thanks again for taking the time to let me know about the problem. Cheers, Caroline

By the way, one more question, can you be specific about which links were broken? I can’t find them on the website.

@@mediterraneanminutes It's on the page '593,775 Salads on the...' and the link is 'SALAD CHART FINAL PDF'.

@@Drayton627 Thanks, I’ll investigate right away. I couldn’t find any problems with the PDF links that you should have received if you signed up for the newsletter. And I reviewed the website and still couldn’t come up with any issues but now that I have a bit more information, I’ll go dig into it andf find out what the problem is. By the way, the PDFs are not directly linked from the website, the links are provided when you sign up for the newsletter (which I’ve only published twice in the past 2 years! but someday I’ll get better at it!!). If you need that link, just email me and I will provide it direct to you. And thanks much for taking the time to get back to me about this. Your help is really appreciated. Cheers, Caroline

@@Drayton627 Found it! So weird… I will go fix it right now.

Hi Karline - Great question. They fit in very well for anyone not interested in animal-fat based products. Since George is pretty much a pescatarian, we've tried soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk - which at the moment is his favorite! Thanks for joining in the conversation! Cheers, Caroline

Thanks so much, Randy. It's great to hear it's helpful to you AND the extended family! Cheers, Caroline

Wow, Reny! You have dialed in so many excellent thoughts and I agree with them all. And actually, IMHO, the Keto diet is not healthy... for anybody. It may result in some initial weight loss but at what cost? Science proves it and I'll stick with science. The balanced way of eating with the Mediterranean-style is just that, a way of staying healthy through what you eat, not a diet at all. I don't like black coffee either but I have gotten used to non-fat milk. Since discovering he had high cholesterol and not wanting to take any medication, George cut all animal fats and we pay attention to using the best ingredients for lowering cholesterol. It's resulted in a 60 point drop for him (now at 184). He uses oat milk and likes it quite a bit. We've also tried almond milk (since we grow them!). Thanks so much for joining in the conversation, you've brought a lot of good thoughts to the table! Cheers, Caroline

Hi again - Funny youo should ask…if you want to see me make the pickled radishes, I show it on a short at czcams.com/video/1pxzvmPxdIc/video.htmlsi=ZC_5VjTgAxM8GHSC from last year’s harvest! And yes, the different varieties pretty much cook for the same amount of time. XO Caroline

@@mediterraneanminutes Perfect - thanks for the link! Cheers!
