Cook with Us #28 - Post Your Entry Here

Cook with Us #28 Theme: Milkshake

The Cook with Us team - Hive account@chefsteve, Hive account@pandamama and Hive account@offoodandart - is happy to open CwU # 28 with the Milkshakes theme.

From Chef Steve:

When I was a kid a milkshake was milk and ice-cream and it was topped off with some whipped cream, sprinkles and chocolate sauce. Today things are a bit different to say the least! Check out these modern “crazy” milkshakes below!

This week at Cook with Us, we want to see your idea of a crazy modern milkshake. Let your imagination run and make something that would satisfy your inner child. Push your boundaries and get outside of your comfort zone. Make it over-the-top! We can’t wait to see what you create! Good luck to you all!

A HUGE thanks to Hive account@curie and Hive account@sneaky-ninja for making Season Three happen!
