Our Wednesday night cook up was a success. Good food, good company, good wine.
Here is a recap of the evening's rules-
Between the 8 of us and a few misinterpreted rules, we managed to collect some pretty impressive ingredients.
The night ended with a very humorous game of Scategories and some midnight salted caramel popcorn.
Here is a recap of the evening's rules-
1. You must bring 3 of your favourite ingredients
2. These ingredients are secret

-Dessert-
Kiwi fruit and strawberries with chocolate and coconut sauce and banana ice cream topped with finger lime and passionfruit.
Banana ice cream is literally frozen bananas whizzed in a food processor for about 5 minutes.
For the chocolate sauce, we melted a block of loving earth raw chocolate with some warm coconut milk. The fats separated a bit, but the sauce still tasted amazing!
