Here is a recipe, developed young man here in the Detroit area. With this recipe, he won a $10,000 scholarship to Johnson and Wales College, which is considered a top-notch cooking school, located in Charleston, SC. This young man, Andre Black, spent 2 weeks developing this recipe, this cake was among the top 19 recipes chosen (out of 270) as winners. Andre was on the front page of the Detroit News yesterday, along with the recipe. The Detroit News food writer, Robin Mather says "For a Carrot Cake, this is a hell of a fruit cake." She found this cake suited to 3 - 8 inch layers.

Sweet, sour, refreshing and tasty. This is a great dessert that's easy to put together and comes out delicious. Light enough, so you don't have to worry about putting on too many calories, and still satisfies your sweet tooth.

The creamy sauce enveloped the seafood stuffed crepes and then we topped them with some leftover sauce and a sprinkled on some parsley for color. Delicious, decadent breakfast. Fairly easy to make too.

This bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu stir-fry deliver sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavor. It's hard not to taste good when you have garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil... all these classic and delicious Asian spices in one dish.

Slightly sweet and sour. Ginger and garlic Asian dressing was super flavourful. The napa cabbage, carrots, and radishes gave the salad a nice crunch. Definitely will be making it again with my leftover turkey. I'm sure that it works great with chicken as well.

A refreshing summer salad that is made with fresh and seasonal vegetables and berries. Low in fat and calorie, but packed with goodness. Feel free to use blueberries, raspberries, or a combination of all three.
