13.01.2022 Happy Birthday Salam! Hope you had a special day

12.01.2022 It might seem like all we do is eat delicious treats at YMCA but we do enjoy learning techniques that we haven't tried before. This amazing dessert was created by baking pears in a red wine and sugar syrup then adding a berry coulis and balancing out the flavours with some vanilla icecream. The alcohol in the red wine evaporates during the baking process but leaves an intense burst of flavour in the dish.

12.01.2022 We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and wonderful holidays. May the New Year be filled with lots of love, happiness and good health. We look forward to seeing you in all in 2021 for an exciting, positive and eventful year. Take care and please stay safe
