“Decadent shakes are an expression of the flavours we love to eat, combined into a drink which tastes and look amazing,” say authors Matthew, Sarah and Brendan Aouad.
“If you enjoy the flavours of sweet and salty, get inspired and mix together chocolate with salted caramel and decorate using crisps chips for an added crunch.”
