Hey Ramona, it was so nice to meet and visit with you and David yesterday. I look forward to seeing you two again in the near future!
I love your web-site although, I looked to the lemongrass soup and did not find it. Am I not looking in the right place? Well, take care and see you soon! Deb
We enjoyed meeting you too! 🙂 Hope to get to spend more time together this coming year!
The lemongrass soup is soon to come on my http://CookingVietnameseFood.com site… 🙂
Hey, I have a lemon grass plant. About 6 years ago, I went to a flower show and bought some lemon grass at an herb stand, supposedly to use in cooking. I didn’t use it all, so I put it in a jar on my window sill and it rooted, I planted it and it’s been going strong ever since. I keep it in the basement, under plant lights with my other “rescued for the winter” plants, take it outside every spring. I thought I had lost it with the dry weather this year, but today there were lots of green sprouts. Can the leaves be used, or just the roots? will check your chicken and dumplings recipe. r
You can use the leaves and the roots to lemon grass. I use fresh lemon grass in my Vietnamese recipes…you might be interested to check out my other blog: http://CookingVietnameseFood.com
I think you are awesome! Thanks for making every recipe look so easy to prepare.
Hey Romona, I tried downloading your e-book but nothing happened, could there be a problem with the sight?
Did you confirm in your email…a confirmation email was sent to you. It may be in you spam folder… let me know.
Love Your Basil,
Ramona
My husband planted Cinnamon Basil. Do you have any recipies for a meal useing cinnamon basil. I have no idea what to do with this herb. I saw on your web site chicken wtih lemon basil and bow tie pasta but I cant find that recipie on your site.
I have a few Cinnamon Basil Recipes: http://ramonasbasilgarden.com/basil-recipes/
I have African Blue Basil and don’t know what to do with it..it’s very pretty but can it be used in recipes? If so can you give me a few recipes..
thank you,
Some say it’s ornamental. I cook with it. It’s a milder Basil taste, but you can substitute for any basil recipe. There is a tab on this website with all kinds of basil recipes!
Love Your Basil,
Ramona

Thank you, Ramona! My husband, our resident chef, is going to try it! 🙂
Great! Let me know what you think, or if you have any changes or additions! 🙂
Ramona, Do you have any recipes using chocolate basic. I bought a plant this summer and it is doing very well.
No I don’t have any Chocolate Basil recipes….I’m thinking that Chocolate Basil is a myth and is probably Chocolate Mint which is a cousin of Chocolate Basil.
But you said you have a Chocolate Basil Plant??? Could you send me a picture of it? When you pinch a leaf in between your fingers does it smell like chocolate? Or does it have a faint chocolate and mint aroma?
I am so excited that you might have found a Chocolate Basil!
Love Your Basil,
Ramona
