Strawberry Pancakes
Being a food explorer and a Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian by diet, it is not so hard as people assume. These days restaurants are offering few options in their menu for vegan & vegetarian enthusiasts too. As said me & my hubby we both are food explorers. I'm proud to say that we have covered almost all variety of cuisines near by. Without limiting ourselves to that we plan to visit Las Vegas almost every year & love to enjoy the fine dining experience offered by different resorts over there. So when I got an opportunity to experiment on a specialty menu designed by Chef Tal Ronnen exclusively for Wynn Resorts,Las Vegas I was totally jumping with joy.
Enjoy making these pancakes as they are if you are a vegan or you can replace them with the dairy versions and can enjoy the dish.
