Let’s Celebrate with a Brownie Recipe (congratulations to the nine new vegan chefs!!!!)

We did it, they did it!! What an achievement the second year of the vegan chef and lifestyle training has come to an end culminating in a magnificent graduation ceremony where the nine graduating chefs showed off to 55 people their skills in making delicious food.
