Featured Release
Carrot Sue
Sue wants to be a chef, but unlike most rabbits, she's never liked carrots. Her friends encourage her to enter a community cooking contest, but she gets discouraged when she finds out that she would have to enter a vegetarian dish. Even though she doesn't like cooking with carrots, and vegetables in general, she becomes motivated by the challenge of coming up with something new.
After gathering inspiration from the different cultural dishes in her friend's family cookbooks and some of her own family's recipes, Sue creates a unique dessert that impresses the judges at the cook-off and wins the top prize! She learns that the best culinary creations are a blend of tradition and trying something new!
