About the cook: My passion started sitting in front of the television as a young boy, watching food network with my mom, dad and sister. From there I moved to the kitchen where I practiced simple dishes: cakes pies, and cookies, while trying not to burn my hand on the oven, to later in life using my family as guinea pigs when I started my first catering business...

About the dish: Delicious made-from-scratch chocolate cake with the perfect mix of smooth chocolate, and ripe bananas. A dessert so good that you won’t know it’s good for you.
