1/4 cup cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours in water

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1-3 tablespoon water, depending on desired consistency

Cooking instruction summary:

Boil whole purple potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and let cool for a few minutes. Preheat the oven to 400F. Place cooled potatoes on a baking sheet and use a fork to smash them down, while still leaving the whole potato in tact. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they've reached your desired crispiness. While the potatoes are roasting, time to make the avocado cashew cream! Place 1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup of soaked cashews, juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, and a handful of mint or cilantro in a high speed blender or food processor. Puree, adding in 1-3 tablespoons of water while it blends until it reaches your desired consistency. Once the smashed potatoes are crispy, drizzle them with the avocado cashew cream. I used a ziplock bag to drizzle (I just cut a tiny pieces off one of the corners), but feel free to use a spoon or fork. Garnish with remaining herbs. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, then serve immediately!

Food Joke

The unhappy woman One day, whilst Hette Levine was out shopping in Brent Cross, she noticed an old lady sitting on a bench sobbing her eyes out. Hette stopped and asked her what was wrong. The old lady said, "I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee." Hette said, "Well, then why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favourite cake and then makes love to me for half the afternoon". Hette asked again, "Well, why are you crying?" The old lady continued, "For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favourite dessert and then makes love to me until 2 o’clock in the morning. Hette asked yet again, "Well, why in the world would you be crying?" The old lady replied, "I can`t remember where I live!"
