Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

So I have visited the Milk Bar several times, and can vouch for the bday truffles, soft serve vanilla and pretzel chocolate, the bday cake, and the experimental coffee & donut dessert. The physical space has a beautiful little patio area and they offer cooking lessons which is nice, since in my view it is an effort to make Milk Bar more accessible. That said, it is quite pricey for ice cream/cake etc., but if you can afford to splurge on something sweet you won't regret this place. The coffee & donut treat for example fetched about $10 minus tip, and wasn't the most practical to eat. But after tasting it I didn't care about that so much! The textures and flavours reminded me of why I'm love this spot.
