Read MoreZucchini Sticks w Sweet Onion Dipping Sauce
This post is dedicated to my friend Sara. Sara saw my Zucchini Sticks with Sweet Onion Dipping sauce on a recent instagram picture of mine. She really wanted the recipe, so as any good friend would have it I decided to share my Zucchini Sticks recipe with you all. Not having taken a’ professional’ photo of my Zucchini Sticks yet, I was very hesitant in writing a blog post for them.

Hilton’s Executive Chef Dennis Leslie was the creator behind a Mexican feast I enjoyed back in Adelaide last year for EDB2012.

I had a delightful time chatting with the stall owners about the origin of their goods.
