This recipe was brought to you by Mandy Van Zanen.
Mandy has always been a foodie but has never considered herself to be any kind of cook until she got roped into all this by me! You’ll see that she’s pretty awesome in the kitchen, but her true creative talent lies in music - she has a music degree in classical singing from the Melbourne Conservatorium, and not only does she sing all sorts of pop music, she also plays the drums, orchestral percussion, and the clarinet as well!
