Hi Sadia
First of all: I love the new website. It looks fantastic and I love all the information you add to the recipes. It looks very neat. The different filters for the recipes are also really helpful.
One question about this recipe: How many people is it for? How many servings is one „stuffed bell pepper boat“? It would be really helpful to me, to know how much to make for how many people. Quantities are sometimes really hard for me. 😅
Thanks a lot for all your delicious recipes. I‘ve been following your youtube channel for a couple of years and I went vegan 1.5 years ago. Your channel was very helpful during my transition and still is. I’ve learned a lot about cooking and nutrition from you and I‘ve been cooking a lot more since going vegan. One reason for that are your awesome videos. I love watching them and the food always looks delicious. I‘ve been making some of your recipes regularly and I really appreciate all your work! Thanks a thousand times!!
All the best to you, Robin and your team
