To keep your leftovers fresh, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. Be sure to label the containers with the date and the recipe name. You can also freeze leftovers for up to three months. When reheating, make sure the food reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.
Yes, you can substitute eggs in our recipes with egg replacers such as flaxseed, chia seeds, or commercial egg replacers. When using flaxseed or chia seeds, mix 1 tablespoon of ground seeds with 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg. For commercial egg replacers, follow the package instructions for the correct ratio.
To ensure food safety, use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of your dish. The recommended internal temperatures are: 165°F (74°C) for poultry, 145°F (63°C) for fish, and 145°F (63°C) for ground meats. Always insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bones or fat.
Yes, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs in our recipes. Use three times the amount of fresh herbs as you would dried herbs. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of dried herbs, use 3 teaspoons of fresh herbs. Chop the fresh herbs finely before adding them to the recipe.

For example, use gluten-free flours or bread crumbs instead of traditional flours or bread crumbs. Always read labels carefully to ensure the ingredients you choose are gluten-free.
To prevent food from sticking to your cooking vessel, make sure it's properly greased or coated with a non-stick cooking spray. You can also use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
