Cooking with Tam and Rocco: Flourless Chocolate Cake

It's the first edition of 'Cooking with Tam and Rocco' - with a flourless chocolate cake!

Action News viewers know about Tam, but who is her husband Rocco?

Rocco Lugrine is known for his delicious work: maybe you tried his pastry, ice cream or confections at famed spots Le Bec Fin, Brasserie Perrier or Miel Patisserie. These days he works as one of the chefs for Barry-Callebaut, the world's largest chocolate company. We also like it when he sends treats into Action News!
