WONDERFUL CURRIED SWEET POTATO SOUP
This IS a WONDERFUL SOUP. And look at the list, just a few ingredients! I came up with lots of GREAT ideas for the contest, but when I asked my friends what they liked best, they always mentioned this humble soup! How funny is that? The rum really makes a difference. It is added at the very end, so if you have kids at the table and you're worried about it, just serve them first and add the rum later. You may want to leave it out altogether, but just let me tell you one more time that the RUM IS a LOVELY ADDITION. I use Patak's curry paste which is available in Asian stores where I live. Madras is labelled as a hot paste and Korma as mild. I've also tried a Patak's paste called HOT/TRES EPICE which I do NOT RECOMMEND.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO SURPRISE
I was given a recipe as an alternative to the traditional 'sweet' sweet potato dishes. I was very dubious at first, but I went ahead, made it with fresh sweet potatoes (not canned, as they are not available in Canada), made my own adjustments and gave it a go. The finished product looked, smelled and tasted FANTASTIC! Not mushy, and the flavors mingle beautifully! People are pleasantly surprised when they taste it. Enjoy!

CURRIED SWEET POTATO MASH
Sweet potatoes get spiced up! These mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful with added ginger, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, coconut oil, and a dash of turmeric and curry. No sugar or salt is needed for these wonderful root vegetables! Creme fraîche adds a creamy texture and offsets the textures of the onions and garlic. I have never had this dish anywhere but at home as my own creation because I am always looking for ways to incorporate ginger, curry, and turmeric into my diet. I love all of the ingredients!

- Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
- Add vegetables to your liking: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables you like, such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or peas.
- Serve with rice or naan: This dish is traditionally served with rice or naan, but you can also serve it with quinoa, couscous, or your favorite grain.
