Where did you get the black bowl. I would love to have one !!!!!!
Sorry Judy, this is a photo from Kim’s photo shoot. Kim – do you know where the stylist got the bowl?
Wow this sounds so yummy I must try it. I am new to your website and I love it!
Thanks Emily. Welcome. It’s great to be connected here.
So the only thing that is cooked is the quinoa; the haricot verts are raw?
Yes. Sorry for any confusion Vivian. Everything is raw except for the quinoa.
