“This and That” Dessert, My Bistro CBD Experience
Weeks of researching, planning, organising and countless sleepless nights later, now it’s all over. The Food Bloggers dinner hosted by Merivale was held on Wednesday night. I’ll give you a run down of my experiences working in a commercial kitchen and an overview of the initial planning process down to plating up our courses.
Strawberry Tres Leche cake
The description of the cake is something I think the whole family will appreciate, so I decided to give the cake a go.

On a side note, here is a Pecan pie recipe with a twist.
