Sweet Potato Crisps / Crisps de Batata Doce.

Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to promote a healthy digestive system.
As well as containing a good array of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium and selenium, they're also a good source of most of our B and C vitamins.
One of the key nutritional benefits of sweet potato, is that they're high in an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A once consumed.
Marta Chose sweet potato as her "ingredient of the month" and I couldn't be happier, as I love sweet potatoes!
These sweet potato crisps are the first recipe I'm taking to Marta's table this month, and they're absolutely addictive and delicious!
This is a simple and delicious suggestion from Lisa Nieschlag & Lars Wentrup beautiful "New York Christmas - Recipes & Stories" cook book, the one I wrote about in this post and, these crisps are a fabulous and easy recipe to make and serve as a snack any time of the year!

Lamb Burgers with Pomegranate Seeds / Hambúrgueres de Borrego com bagos de Romã.

"New York Christmas - Recipes & Stories" by Lisa Nieschlag and Lars Wentrup, is a book that will transport you to the magic and beautiful streets of New York and its iconic white Christmas.

Full of mouthwatering recipes, this book covers all your Christmas holidays food needs. From Christmas baking, winter brunch, holidays classics, Christmas dinner and New Year's Eve, you'll find everything you need to satisfy and indulge your family and friends around the festive season.

Not to talk about the absolutely fabulous stories and photos that are like entering an enchanted fairy tale or one of the New York Christmas movies that makes us dream about The Perfect Christmas!

A book that I'm totally in love with and that is on my kitchen table since the day I got it. I'll be cooking a lot from it during this season and, of course, in between food steps and processes, I'll keep on reading the stories and dreaming over the gorgeous photos of New York.

A big thank you to the publisher Murdoch Books UK that sent me this gem of a book that I totally recommend!

These burgers were the first recipe I tried as, I marked down so many to try that, of course, I couldn't wait until Christmas to try them all right?

The meat is slow cooked with some Christmassy spices and after 3 hours, it just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. A recipe to try over and over again and that was loved an joyfully enjoyed by adults and kids.

As this month Marta asked us to make recipes featuring pomegranate for her October "ingredient of the month", I invite Marta to try and enjoy these delicious burgers.
