So it’s week 5 already! This past week has been hectic. The kids have had a bug and now I’ve got the worst flu ever. But hey, cake makes everything better!

I can’t believe it’s week 3 already! This week’s recipe is Pork and Vegetable Wontons in a Spicy Oil Dressing and was created by Martin Johns, Kenwood Development Chef.
