Having had my fair share of sweet potato fry fails and being so sad after each time I decided to perfect my skills by getting tips and tricks from chefs and tests. I finally found the essential steps to making the most delicious sweet potato fries and am ready to share it with the world!

Today I decided to cook something a little different which reminds me of the times spent in Puglia: Spaghetti with Eggplant and Taralli. For those who don’t know Taralli: they are a very common snack in the southern Italian Peninsula. They are like a mix of breadsticks and crackers and are absolutely delicious. Taralli come in various different tastes, the original ones are just with olive oil but fennel and peperoncino are also eaten a lot.

Fiori di Zucca or Zucchini Blossoms in English are an Italian specialty that most people are not aware of, so much so, that over 90% of all Zucchini Blossoms worldwide are thrown away!! This is absolutely crazy not only because they are delicious but also because they are super healthy and very easy to cook.

Dahi Baigan is an eggplant based dish, the eggplants are fried in vegetable oil and then cooked in yogurt with spices. It’s not only extremely delicious but also much lighter than I thought it would be. I also tried the vegan version with coconut vegan yogurt and was surprised at how the flavours really mixed well together.
