It has been while since I have updated the site and I do have a few announcements that I like to share. They are mostly just general updates and some new Twitter information but, I think its best to sum it all up in here. So here is, after a short absence, the News from the Chef.
First off, I would like to announce that I do have a separate Twitter account exclusively from The Brony Chef Project. If you have a Twitter account and like to see some up-to-date information, follow @bronychefpro on Twitter. You can see and share different updates on the website and have a sneak peek at the experimenting process of each recipe. So go ahead and follow to your hearts content.
I would also like to announce that there will be a delay on the newest recipe. Since my parents are selling there house, I couldn't really use there kitchen from experimenting . Until I can find a more suitable space, the next recipe would come by a little later by late February/early March. I will keep you updated on Twitter and Facebook.
That is all the news I just wanted to share. It is a bit short but I do have a very busy schedule. Don't worry, more updates will be coming up really soon.

Brony Chef Project #19: The "Cinna-Coco" Pummel Mocha
While the winters of Chicago still rages on outside, there is warmth beside freinds and good coffee. I recently started to watch more of season 4 and one new character that recently appeared caught my eye. She was only in one episode so far, but she has gained an impressive audience with the fan art and back stories galor. She is a background pony but I believe she could be more if the series give her more air time. She is simply known as Coco Pummel: a designers apprentice and an insiration for a delectable treat.
From "Rarity Takes Manehattan" episode 8, Season 4: Coco beside Suri's Polomare's "New' clothing line.
Coco's backstory is somewhat unknown to the series so far, but they are however some clues about her origin durring her first appearence. In the episode "Rarity Takes Manehatten", Coco first appeared as an apprentice to the lieing and deceiving Suri Polomare; a competator designer for the Fashion Week compition. She was shy and somewhat weak willed since she was an intern for Seri, but Coco did started to change when she saw Rarity's example of generosity. At the end of the episode, Coco decied to quit her apprenticeship and got the job of costume set designer for the Manehatten Theater: Thanks to Rarity.
From "Rarity Takes Manehatten" episode 8, Season 4: Coco Pummel giving Rarity the 1st place prize of Fashion Week.
Coco is considered what I like to call "the apprentice who became the master" type of character. She decided to guide herself to what she belives is right instead of following an experienced master of the craft who is only successful through unethical practices. Eventhough Coco was weak willed under her apprenticeship, she does have the concious to make better decisions not only for herself but for ethical bussiness practices itself.
The inspiration for Coco was to put in the perspective of Manehatten's caffe scene. I wanted to make something that maybe Coco would get regularly in her neighbor hood to start her day right to face any challange or as an escape from Seri's corruption. I naturally thought about the local coffee houses, arround the city and came up with a "Dessert" coffee drink that adds subtly but originally that Coco represents.
The "Cinna-Coco" Pummel Mocha
Makes 6 cups
Coffee
6 cups of hot brewed coffee
Flavorings
~1/2 cup of coconut milk
1/3 cup of coco powder
3/4 cup of brown sugar
Cinnamon to taste
1. Pour the coffee into individual mugs. (Remember to leave room for the coconut milk.)
2. Add a splash of coconut milk until each cup 4/5 filled up.
3. Add 1 Tablespoon of coco powder and 2 Tablespoons of the brown sugar to each cup and stir.
4. Add the cinnamon on top to taste and serve warm.
This drink is perfect for any coffee lover who wants to save money while still enjoying the drinks they love. You can serve this drink to to individual guests who want to enjoy some episode disscusstions or lay out some extra ingredients on a table to have a "customizable coffee bar" to create there own pony themed drinks. Although, one of the biggest perks of all is that the coconut milk is lactose, gluten, and soy free: so anyone can enjoy it.
I know this post is little late, but I am still updating. My kitchen is currently being remodeled and there might be some changes to the recipie photos and some delay, but It will look ten times better over time. As for the next recipie, I'm going to have wait and see once the kitchen is done, but for now: I'll try to keep things simple to accommodate my current situation. For now, this is the Brony Chef saying "I bid you all a-do" and enjoy a cup of warm joe this winter.
