Seeing Pho pop up as this month’s Daring Cooks challenge gave me a little thrill, I always thought that Pho would be an exhausting, time consuming exercise that would result in a sub-par results, luckily only one of these things were true! We were given the choice of Pho Ga (Chicken based stock) or Pho Tai (traditional beef stock with rare meat), I of course chose the beef option.

After a long absence we finally see the return of the Soup Series! Some of you may remember seeing this recipe used at our Dinner for 6 a few months back. I recently stumbled across the recipe again and remembering how much I enjoyed making and eating this soup I felt the need to share.

We’ve all seen this cake on Masterchef but I decided to challenge myself and try make Adriano Zumbo’s Chocolate Mousse cake. Four hours and seven layers later and the challenge is complete. How did I go ?
