The Impact of "The "F" Word" Programme by Chef Gordon Ramsay

Credit should be given to Chef Gordon Ramsay and his programme "The F Word". Having a passion in cooking especially in chocolate making, mommy has by all mean search for the "Churros" recipe (with 'Ariff's help who remembered the name of the dish) and successfully made it. Abah lend his helping hand in mixing the dough, since mommy's mixture is out of order. The taste is wonderful and awesome especially when the "Churros" is dip into the finger licking chocolate ganache which is also handmade by mommy. With the thumbs up from the kiddos as the quality controller, mommy has decided to add in the "Churros" as one of the specialty in mommy's decorative homemade chocolate business.
