Molten Cheese
BLEND No.90 RECIPE
Challenging myself to constantly to create recipes that don’t adhere to traditions is a great source of joy and freedom. I am not a good follower. Even if I am following a recipe, I tend to always put a new twist on the ingredients or directions. It makes it mine! Here is one going against the grain. No cornstarch or flour!
