napa and celery and yogurt salad

[Guest guest]

This book is not vegetarian. It allows a small amount of " animal food " - mostly

fish, seafood, and chicken. There are many recipes in the book that are

vegetarian or vegan.

 

So far I've not tried the recipes -- the pantry is a bit exotic. umeboshi

vinegar, almond butter, brown rice vinegar.... thing that are mail order for me.

Also, the amounts of oil and fat are higher than we allow in our diets ... so

I'd have to tweak the recipes.

 

I think I've asked before but i don't recall the answer. Is flax seed oil stable

at room temperature when the house is as hot as 80? what is it's shelf life?

is it photosensitive?
