So this announcement has been a long time coming - even before my birthday! I applied for a job at a Michelin star restaurant and was understandably rejected (since I also work full time as a software engineer).

Hey guys! Since it's my birthday in Australia I thought it was OK to share some pictures from my party this weekend! Some of you already saw the piñata video which was the absolute cherry on the cake. What cake you say? I'm glad you asked!

The veggies are pan fried potatoes and green beans with bacon and snippets of onion, shallot, and garlic sautéed in maple butter. The glaze on the meatloaf is a savoury ketchup sauce.

So today I decided to roll back in the habit of meat free weekdays and make myself a burger! The burger itself is chickpea and pumpkin, topped with sour onions, sweet parsnips, and earthy lettuce. The chips are parsnips, covered with lemon zest. Yum!

This is my first ever recipe! It's a ginger and jalapeño ice cream taco with mango puree and coconut shavings:)
