Gathering
Chef Darian Davis
Nothing is better than a gathering of friends and family at my home. My family needs no particular reason to gather, it could be a birthday, holiday, or just to catch up. But one thing is for sure: absolutely no gathering is ever complete without delicious homemade food. This month I want to share a recipe I made twice trying to perfect it before the next gathering. You can make it in any pan you desire as well as muffins (though they cook quicker). I have tried several pans and they are all delicious.
