Always remember that these recipes are only guidelines, feel free to experiment and substitute. I find that keeping notes when I try new recipes is very helpful and it will allow you to tweak until it’s perfect for you. Also always try a new recipe on yourself first before trying it out on your guests to ensure success. If for any reason my recipes do not turn out, please email me at recipes@gffoods.com.
