These purple sweet potato Nutella twisted buns are soft, sweet, fluffy and naturally purple. The purple sweet potato not only provides colour, but also helps keep the dough moist and make it light and airy. Besides Nutella, nut butter or homemade jam can be used to fill the buns too. Store these buns in a sealed container and eat within 2 or 3 days. They also freeze well!

A delightful option for a light and wholesome meal, these ghee seared scallops are served with a frisée, red onion, and kumquat salad drizzled with a aromatic fruity mango dressing.

Make sure to thoroughly dry your scallops before seasoning and searing. They should be springy, not mushy (undercooked) or firm (overcooked) if properly cooked.

Striking colours and bold flavours packed into these small, delicious bites – the perfect starter for your holiday dinner party.
Purple sweet potatoes are fun to cook with and can be used in many of the same ways as the regular sweet potatoes. They add a fantastic pop of colour to food and are high in Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, flavanoids and anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants and have been linked to reducing dementia and maintaining brain health. The violet hue comes from anthocyanins, the same pigment that gives red wine, berries, purple carrots & cabbage, and other vegetables their colour.
Purple sweet potatoes have a rich, creamy texture. They are denser and more floury than regular sweet potatoes, which is why you need to cook them longer than you would a regular sweet potato (from 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 180C/350F). They are so easy to prepare, but not so easy to find and will cost a little more.

Tea Eggs

Tea egg is a popular Chinese snack with marble patterns, in which the boiled eggs are cracked all around and then boiled again in a spiced tea made with soya sauce and spices (I used star anise, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, chilli pepper, and orange rind). These eggs are so flavourful and usually have a greenish gray ring because they cook much longer. It's harmless and perfectly edible. If you prefer soft runny yolks, skip the 2nd boiling, just steep the cracked eggs in the spiced tea for 24 hours. The leftover spiced tea can be reused. Freeze it if you don’t plan to make another batch soon.
Feel free to choose any tea you prefer or have on hand. Use dark soya sauce if you could, as it helps to create the marble effect. The longer the eggs stay in the spiced tea, the more intense the marble effect. Enjoy them as a snack or breakfast!

A quick and delicious no yeast bread made with full fat Greek yoghurt, organic wholegrain rye and bread flour. Adding yoghurt to the bread dough is the easy hack for a fluffy and soft crumb. The crust will stay crunchy for a couple of hours and will become softer after it cools down. The bread is scrumptious slathered in butter and / or homemade marmalade. You can substitute for plain yoghurt, which is slightly runnier, thus add an extra 30 grams of flour if using.

This vibrant Mediterranean salad showcases a colorful mixture of arugula, baby beet leaves, spinach and snow peas. Mesclun's fresh, complex flavour and tender, crispy texture work beautifully alongside sweet tender snow peas and creamy quail eggs, all finished with a rich, nutty dressing made from Parmesan, red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt and voatsiperifery black pepper. Boil the quail eggs to your own liking, two minutes (soft-boiled), three minutes (medium-boiled) or four minutes (hard-boiled).
Mesclun, the French word for “mixture”, is a mix of tender, young salad green leaves. The mix often includes leaf lettuce, arugula, endive, frisée, mizuma, oak leaf, mâche or lamb’s lettuce, radicchio, sorrel, chervil, groundsel, and dandelion. Mesclun can be made from a blend of different types of wild and cultivated plants with varying tastes, colours, and textures.
Voatsiperifery pepper is a wild pepper grown in southern Madagascar. Voatsiperifery pepper is one of an exceptional variety of peppers that are much smaller than the standard black pepper, and easily recognizable thanks to its comet-like stem. Rustic and above all very fragrant with an intensely herbal, floral and citrusy aroma and flavour. It comes in three colours, corresponding to the different stages of ripening: black, white and red. Voa, the Malagasy word for fruit, and tsiperifery, the local name of the plant.
