Asian-Inspired Sweet’n Spicy Cauliflower Bites


Natural Tableware was the perfect canvas to plate my plant-based creation! An exotic vegan delight featuring fried cauliflower florets coated w/ a sweet and spicy sauce, a light & crispy fried rice paper sprinkled w/ ground pea crisps, sesame infused snow pea/ cucumber/cabbage slaw & a sweetened black sesame brush stroke.

Interviews w/ Jay Ducote, radio and TV personality, who Beat Bobby Flay in 2019, & the awesome Walmart Radio DJ’s!

Photo w/ Mike McCloud, CEO @World Food Championships and his beautiful family soon after finding out that I made it to the Top 10 in the Recipe Category!

After competing in the Infused Round, I was overjoyed when announced as the Recipe Category winner! Second year in a row winning my category & moving on the Final Table! Indianapolis, here I come!

Such exhilarating week! It’s all about passion, food and the amazing World Food Championship community… the perfect recipe!
