Put a fun twist on your delicious homemade rye bread with some organic beetroot juice and cacao nibs. The sweetness of the beetroot not only adds depth and earthy flavour to your bread, but also balances perfectly the bitterness of cacao nibs.
It’s a slightly dense bread due to the use of rye and bread flour, but it is very satisfying and goes well with soup, salad or as a substantial and healthy breakfast with some sliced avocados. Score the bread any way you like, a simple cross is great or hashtag like I did. If you are interested, here is an article about bread scoring patterns I found on Bon Appetit.

- Warm up the beetroot juice in a saucepan until lukewarm. Place bread flour, rye flour and smoked salt in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Crumble the fresh yeast into the lukewarm beet juice. Set aside for 10 minutes or until the mixture is frothy.
- Add beet juice yeast mixture into the flour mixture and mix on low speed for 5 minutes. Increase the speed and knead until elastic and smooth. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
- Turn out the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using your fist, punch dough down. Add in cacao nibs. Knead to combine and shape the dough into a round.
- Dust a proofing basket with some flour. Place the dough, seam side up, into the basket. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for 45 minutes to prove until almost doubled in size. Turn the dough out onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush or spray the surface with water. Use a small sharp knife or a bread lame to score the bread with decorative cuts.
- Place a bowl of water on the bottom of your oven. Preheat the oven to 230C/450F.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 180C/350F and bake for a further 15 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely before slicing.

These Filipino-style macaroons are so easy to make and so delicious. they are golden crisp on the odges and soft, chewy and moist on the inside, they’re super addictive. If you prefer, coat them in chocolate to give it a even richer flavour. The addition of small amount of white spelt flour in the batter makes them taste more like cakes rather than standard coconut macaroon, but they are just equally delicious. They make a great midday pick or after-meal dessert or even as a lunch box filler. Don't confuse coconut macaroons with chewy, yet crisp airy French macarons. Macarons and macaroons differ in their main ingredient, which for macarons is almond meal, and macaroons is shredded coconut.
A macaron (pronounced "mack-ah-ROHN") , which has roots in Paris, is a meringue-based cookie. Its batter is composed of almond flour, egg whites, and confectioners’ sugar. Parisian macarons come in a variety of colours and flavours and usually filled with buttercream, ganache, jam, or fruit curd. The main ingredient of a macaroon (pronounced "mack-ah-ROON") is shredded coconut and its original recipe does not require sweetened condensed milk. As the recipe suggests, this is a Filipino-style macaroon, which is composed of butter, sugar, sweetened condensed milk and coconut of course.

Garam Masala Pan Seared Salmon with Spinach

This Indian-spiced salmon recipe is easy and quick to put together -- the best 15-minute -dinner you can make for a busy weeknight! There is nothing quite like salmon skin cooked to perfection. It's crispy, fatty and salty.. just like the bacon.
Garam masala is an Indian spice blend and has a typical deep brown colour. It is highly aromatic and tastes sweet, spicy and pungent. It has a stronger flavour than curry mix. If you don't have garam masala, then use curry powder instead, or 3 parts of cumin with 1 part allspice for an easy substitute. Personally I prefer to cook with high-quality animal fat, but feel free to use any plant fat, like coconut oil or avocado oil.

- Season the salmon on both sides with garam masala and black salt. Heat the beef tallow in a pan over medium-high heat until melted and hot. Add the salmon, skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and the flesh flakes easily. Leave to rest on a plate while you cook the spinach.
- Add diced chilli pepper and shallot into the hot pan. Stir briefly. Add in garlic and spinach leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Spoon the spinach onto plates, then top with the salmon. Garnish with herbs and serve with lime wedges.
