Have tried your recipes in the past and have enjoyed them immensely. My son and I get together a great deal and cook together which I love. So thank you.

I was glad to see your use of the cilantro roots. None of the recipes I looked at (many, many tens of recipes) mentioned their use, but it seemed very right, and I had a bunch of them. I used half for my pho, and froze the rest for a grilled chicken flavor paste. Anyhow , cheers!

FYI..Others are right: the ads are out of control.

Hi Joanne, typically a pressure cooker reduces the cooking time by 3-4 times. So you can just multiply the time to cook the broth by 3-4. You'll also probably need to add more water at the end as you'll experience more evaporation over the cooking time.

Hi Geoffrey, I've spoken to the hosting platform and they're working on adjusting the ads. A lot of time with these ad networks, there are rogue advertisers that are doing things they shouldn't be doing (like auto playing video ads), so it's a matter of finding them all and banning them.

Hi Marc, I've enjoyed your recipes for many years, but I have to agree.

I think your new hosting might be to blame, as the site has loaded much slower and the ads keep getting worse. Right now I'm seeing an animated Mazola Ad telling me to rollover for more recipes at the bottom of every single one of the images you posted.

There are not one, but two videos playing on this page which I didn't click on. One with sound. There are at least 3 other static ads.

Normally I can just ignore them but this is a little much. Hopefully you can trim them down to make the site easier to navigate.

Hi Oscar, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with the site. There should not be any popups on this site. Can you please send me a screen capture of what you're seeing by email?

The popup ad almost make reading the post and recipe unreadable.
