Birthday Treats

No recipe today as I'm having a well earned break from the kitchen as it's my birthday!

I thought I would pass on a recommendation for a great veggie-friendly place as I've been having a fine old day sampling some delicious treats!

This afternoon we went to Goji cafe in York for tea and cakes and it was great fun. Their vegan chocolate cake is heavenly as was the pecan pie that my other half devoured. Luke had a great time too. As well as the cake, he managed to polish off a huge fresh strawberry milkshake! The menu for lunch and dinner looked very appetising and I loved the sound of their Valentine's menu with dishes such as 'Love Letter' pastry parcels stuffed with mushroom and asparagus and the serious sounding 'White Wedding' cheesecake. I would highly recommend this place. The ambience is chilled and shabby chic, the service friendly and the food is great.

Luke's verdict: I loved my juicy fruity milkshake! Happy Birthday Mammy!!
