I tried this tonight as I’ve been trying plant based for the last few months and desperately needed some inspiration so was so pleased to find your Instagram account. The food all looked amazing so I gave these ‘meatballs’ a try tonight and although mine didn’t turn out quite as pretty as yours they tasted INCREDIBLE!! So excited to give a few more recipes a whirl! Thanks!! Xx
