comma before 'as' [conjunction]: is a good idea, as they have time

[bozam]

Hi everybody,

I'm reading after the proofreader, and I have a feeling lots of commas are missing. For example, there isn't any in this sentence:

Making curry a day before serving is a good idea as the flavours have time to fully develop.

Shouldn't there be a coma before "as"?

Making curry a day before serving is a good idea, as the flavours have time to fully develop.

I appreciate your reply.

Hello, bozam. I agree with you. Using a comma after "idea" would help readers understand the sentence.
