BOOK REVIEW: Decadent Shakes

Old fashioned milk bar shakes have been replaced with something far more excessive.

Milkshakes topped with lollies, biscuits, doughnuts and lashings of chocolate are the newest and most indulgent drink on the café menu.

And Decadent Shakes by Matthew, Sarah and Brendan Aouad reveals the secrets to making these crazy creations in your very own kitchen.

Owners of Sydney's The Vogue Café, the Aouad's have put together some of their customers' best-loved shakes into a hardback book.

The recipes are accompanied by mouth-watering photography and all feature step-by-step instructions to both make and present the shake.

There is a shake flavour to tickle every taste bud.

From Fairies Dream (which includes fairy floss and fairy bread) and chocoholic's dream Double Decker (uses half a block of mint chocolate plus additional chocolate bars, chocolate chips, toffees and two different ice creams) to a revved up retro Creaming Soda Spider and a fruity Mixed Berry Smoothie, there is something for everyone.

Of course, the Aouad siblings' recipes are just the very beginning!

Once they've mastered the basics of how to seemingly defy gravity, chefs are only limited by their imaginations.

Now can you just imagine the grandkids' reaction when you whip up one of these bad boys with them.

Luckily, we have some monster shake recipes for you to try at home.
