NOTES:

All recipes are vegetarian:
- I try to acknowledge the source of recipes where I can, but I have been jotting down recipes for years so I can't always be sure of the source - please let me know if I have not acknowledged your recipe and I will be happy to amend the post. I also cook a lot of dishes which are derived from my experience of cooking and reading but don't have any attributable source.
- where I use Worcestershire Sauce, it is a vegetarian version
- I try to use vegetarian cheese but I don't always manage it

v = vegan or vegan-friendly, You might like to consider
- you may need to substitute soy, rice or nut milk for cow's milk
- you may need to substitute agave/maple syrup for honey - for more information on agave, go here.

gf = gluten free or gluten free friendly. You might like to consider:
- you may need to check your soy sauce is gluten free
- you may need to check your noodles are gluten free - I have only labelled pasta recipes gf where the noodles tend to be traditionally gluten free such as rice noodles, but you could use some of the pasta sauces by using gluten free pasta.
- I don't include any recipes with oats in my recipes labelled gf
- the best gf flour mix I have found is Casalare gluten free flour

Measurements. The measurements I use are Australian cup (1 cup = 250ml) and spoon measurements, and/or metric. For conversions, go to Real Food for Real People or Gourmet Sleuth.

Useful Websites on Ingredients:
- Market Fresh - photos of vegetables and when they are in season in Australia.
- Gourmet Sleuth - a little information on a lot of ingredients
- Cooking Light - Flavour Profiles - more information on less ingredients

Please let me know of any mistakes or broken links on this page or on my blog by emailing me at gggiraffe07ATyahooDOTcomDOTau or by posting a comment.
