I love to revisit my culture though the vehicle of food. My mother use to make the best black cake. My brother and I use to scarf it down with ice cold milk.
This particular black cake has become a favorite of my clients and for good reason it tastes great!
I am so sorry guys I love to not measure and be more of a vibration chef. However I also want you guys to be able to get ideas and be inspired to recreate this food that you see here as well. So I will do my best to get the recipes together for you. However in the mean time I will give out the main ingredients and the preparation involved in making each dish.

Blend and freeze for 20 mins, then pipe it through a pastry bag on to the cake.

Coconut Espresso cake was such an inspirational piece of genius that I had. The two flavors really married together very well. I have to work out the kinks but when I do I will defiantly share this recipe.
This raw cake had a crust that was simply out of this world. I made an orange toffee crust out of raw nuts and orange peel to compliment the pumpkin flavor in the cake.

Orange peel gives great flavor to many raw dishes. You can use it in raw pie crusts,raw granola even raw chocolate recipes,so when you juice those oranges use a vegetable peeler to peel and harvest your orange rind.
I had a bit of technical difficulty however i'm back. Although I haven't been blogging I have been un-cooking up a storm and overloading my camera with mouth watering pictures so enjoy !
Raw cheese cakes are fun and easy to make. You don't have to limit your choice to one flavor you can be creative and choose many different fruit combinations.Fruits like mango,cherry,pineapple and even blueberry are great options.
