Vegetables Taste Good

Decadent Chocolate Cake with Homemade Caramel Sauce

Man, let me tell you about this cake. It’s goooooood. It’s so freaking good. So good, in fact, that even I, a chocolate non-admirer, a person who finds chocolate way overrated, love this chocolate cake. So good, in fact, that even my father, who also thinks chocolate kinda sucks, loves this chocolate cake. This is…

Avocado Lime Pancakes with Strawberry Avo Salsa and Honey Greek Yoghurt

As chefs, we’re encouraged to take part in as many competitions and events as possible. As myself, I couldn’t be bothered. It seemed that my classmates felt the same way but our school wouldn’t have it, so we were all forced to take part in the annual culinary school avocado competition. Endorsed by the South…
