INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Craving a tropical getaway without leaving your backyard? This vibrant, alcohol-free drink blends the exotic taste of passionfruit with zesty lime and a hint of sweetness, delivering a refreshing experience that’s so indulgent.

How to serve
The finishing touch? A juicy half of passionfruit floating on top—because why not go all in? A little spoon is optional but highly recommended, because scooping out those passionfruit seeds mid-sip just hits different.

How to store
While this drink is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the passionfruit and lime mixture in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. When ready to serve, simply pour over ice, top with sparkling water, and garnish as desired.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This roast is what holiday dreams are made of—crispy crackling, juicy pork, and a sweet-tangy cranberry orange glaze that brings all the festive vibes. The glaze is inspired by a classic Cumberland sauce, with tart cranberries, bright orange zest, and a splash of Port wine for richness. Whether it’s for a holiday feast or a special family dinner, this roast is guaranteed to steal the show and have everyone asking for seconds.

How to serve
Pair this roast with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a crisp green salad to balance the richness. The cranberry orange glaze adds just the right amount of tang, so it shines with simple sides. For an extra festive touch, drizzle a bit of the warm glaze over the carved slices. The best part? This roast is just as amazing the next day! Slice it paper-thin and enjoy it as a snack, or layer it into a sandwich with some extra glaze for a seriously delicious leftover treat.

How to store
Wrap leftover pork in foil or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Enjoy it cold in a sandwich with a dollop of leftover glaze.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • deep baking dish or roasting pan
  • aluminum foil
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • kitchen brush for glazing
  • meat thermometer
  • vegetable peeler
  • small pot

Ingredients

Units Scale
PORK HAM
  • 1.8 kilogramm cured pork ham with rind
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • salt & pepper
COOKING LIQUID
  • 750 milliliter vegetable stock
  • 1.5 white onions
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp black pepper corns
CRANBERRY ORANGE GLAZE
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 orange
  • 200 milliliter port wine
  • 1 shallot
  • 3/4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 100 grams fresh cranberries
  • 200 grams redcurrant jelly
  • salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Take the meat out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking later.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the glaze. You can find the recipe for the cranberry-orange sauce here, which we’ll use both as a glaze and a sauce later.
  3. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F (fan).
  4. Peel the onions, garlic, and carrots, then cut them into large chunks.
  5. Pour vegetable broth into a deep baking dish or roasting pan and place the meat in it, rind side down. Distribute the chopped vegetables, pepper, and bay leaves around it.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven for 40 minutes.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board, placing it rind side up. You now have two options: either remove the rind completely, leaving the fat layer intact, and score the fat closely with a sharp knife without cutting into the meat. Or, leave the rind on and score it diagonally in a tight pattern, again without cutting into the meat. Return the meat to the oven uncovered and roast for an additional hour.
  8. After 30 minutes, brush the rind with the first layer of glaze. Repeat this every 10 minutes (a total of 3 times). Be sure to save some of the glaze, as it will be used as a sauce later. Once the meat reaches an internal temperature of 65°C/149°F, switch the oven to grill mode and roast the rind for about 10 minutes until it becomes perfectly crispy. The roast should now have an internal temperature of around 68-69°C/154-156°F.
  9. Remove the meat from the oven, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise to about 72°C/162°F, and the juices will redistribute within the meat.
  10. Slice the meat against the grain into thick slices for serving as a main course or into thin slices for making sandwiches. Enjoy!

  • piping bag (optional)
  • kitchen knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

Units Scale
BATTER
  • 90 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 125 milliliter buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • oil for frying
RICOTTA CREAM
  • 250 grams ricotta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste
BLINI TOPPING 1
  • walnuts
  • shallot
  • oil for frying
  • honey
  • chili oil
  • fresh thyme
  • red pepper flakes
BLINI TOPPING 2
  • fresh fig
  • gorgonzola
  • truffle oil
  • chives
  • black pepper
BLINI TOPPING 3
  • cooked salmon
  • red onion
  • capers
  • olive oil

  • black pepper
BLINI TOPPING 4
  • pastrami
  • cornichons
  • walnut oil
  • fresh parsley
BLINI TOPPING 5
  • radishes
  • cress
  • basil oil

Instructions

  1. First, we’re making the blini batter. Mix all the ingredients together until smooth, then let it chill for like 5-10 minutes. Once the batter’s had its lil rest, heat up a pan with a bit of oil or butter and spoon in small circles of batter. I usually use 3/4 of a tablespoon. Here’s the pro tip: when you see those cute little holes popping up on the surface, it’s time to flip them. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they’re golden and gorgeous. Boom, your blinis are born. Pop them on a cooling rack to chill out – no soggy bottoms here.
  2. Grab a bowl and mix the ricotta cream. For this, stir together ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper until it’s smooth and creamy. Then load it into a piping bag if you’re feeling fancy, or just keep a spoon handy for the easy aesthetic.
  3. Once your blinis are cool, dollop or pipe some ricotta cream onto each one. Get creative – a little swirl, a casual blob, whatever your heart desires. Now they’re ready for toppings.
  4. For Blini topping 1, toast the walnuts in a pan without adding additional fat. Take them out and let them cool. Thinly slice the shallots into delicate rings and fry them in a bit of oil until crispy. Set aside to cool. Add half a walnut onto the blini, as well as about 1 tsp of the crispy onions. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns. Toss on a few fresh thyme leaves and finish with a few drops of chili oil for a spicy kick that ties it all together.
  5. For Blini topping 2, slice fresh figs into eighths. Place one fig wedge on the ricotta cream, then crumble some blue cheese on the other side – as much or as little as your vibe calls for. Add a few drops of truffle oil, sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and garnish with a touch of chopped chives to seal the deal.
  6. For Blini topping 3, flake some cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and nestle it onto the ricotta cream. Slice red onions into thin strips, then scatter a few pieces on top along with some capers. Add a few drops of olive oil, a grind of fresh black pepper, and finish with a couple of dill sprigs.
  7. For Blini topping 4, tear thin slices of pastrami into strips, roll them into little spirals, and press them onto the ricotta. Diagonally halve some cornichons and place one half on the blini. Drizzle a few drops of walnut oil for a rich, nutty twist. Top it all off with a sprig of fresh parsley for a classy finishing touch.
  8. For Blini topping 5, thinly slice radishes into delicate rounds and place two slices on one side of the blini. On the other side, gently press on a little bunch of radish cress for that pop of green. Finish with a few drops of basil oil for a fresh, herbaceous flair.
  9. Serve these cute appetizers on a platter and watch them disappear in seconds.

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two small pots
  • two small bowls
  • oven

Ingredients

Units Scale
APPLE PIE ROLLS
  • 8 filo pastry sheets
  • 1 apple
  • 150 milliliter apple juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 15 grams white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
CARAMEL CINNAMON SAUCE
  • 75g white sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 20 grams butter
  • 75 grams heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
VANILLA SAUCE
  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 150 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
MILK CRUMBLE
  • 30 grams full-fat milk powder
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 25 grams butter
  • 45 grams white chocolate

Instructions

  1. For the apple filling, dice the apples and add them to a pot with apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are soft. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water, then stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a quick boil until it thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.
  2. For the caramel-cinnamon sauce, heat sugar and water in a pot until it reaches 170°C (340°F) and turns a light golden caramel (about 10–15 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream – it may clump, but just keep stirring. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
  3. For the milk crumble, combine milk powder, flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with your hands until crumbly. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 140°C (285°F) for about 10 minutes. While it bakes, melt the white chocolate. Once the crumble is baked, transfer it to a bowl, drizzle the melted chocolate over it, and stir until it forms larger clusters. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the vanilla sauce. You can find the recipe here.
  5. For the filo rolls, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling on each sheet of filo dough. Fold in the sides, roll them up, and seal the ends with a bit of water. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (355°F) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. To serve, pour the vanilla sauce onto plates or bowls, cut the filo rolls into three pieces each, and arrange them on top of the sauce. Drizzle with the caramel-cinnamon sauce and finish with milk crumbles. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200 grams risotto rice
  • 400 milliliter vegetable broth
  • 200 milliliter dry white wine
  • 300 milliliter water
  • 100 grams parmesan
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Finely grate the Parmesan.
  • Cut the shallot into small pieces.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the shallot until translucent. Add the butter and risotto rice, stirring everything well, and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Deglaze with the first 100ml (1/2 cup) of white wine, letting it reduce over medium heat until no liquid remains in the pot.
  3. Next, add 100ml (1/2 cup) of stock and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated. Continue adding stock 100ml (1/2 cup) at a time, letting it simmer and be absorbed by the rice before each addition, until the remaining 200ml (1 cup) of stock has been used.
  4. Afterward, add 150ml (1/2 cup) of water, allowing the rice to absorb it as it cooks. Follow with another 100ml (1/2 cup) of white wine, then add the final 150ml (1/2 cup) of water, stirring as it cooks. The whole process should take around 40 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Parmesan until it melts. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  6. Divide the risotto between plates and top with additional grated Parmesan, freshly ground pepper, and parsley.
