His results - Lime-Vanilla Cheesecake



This was another easy recipe. It was tasty but if I was making it again I'd add a fair bit more lime since this was a bit timidly flavoured I thought.

His results - Vegan Mexican Chocolate Cake



I ground my own dry chilies for this recpe and used plenty of them. It was definately worth it! They gave a beautiful rich heat.

It was another fantastically easy recipe. The texture was different than that of a normal butter and egg filled cake. Less crumbly, a little more spongey. It was pleasant though and went down well atwork too.

I reaffirmed my love of chilies paired with chocolate but I'm not so sure this is the absolute best recipe to show that off. Definately tasty though!

His results - Anginetti Cookies





Rolling them in my hands seemed like hard work so I left my cookies jaggedy.

They were OK. Not great but OK. they would have benefitted from being smaller, more intensely flavoured, and having a fair bit more glaze.

After they dried out a bit I tried one or two with lemon curd in the middle. Good call it was too.

These were pretty good as I said but not good enough for me to plan on making them again.
