• 125 g softened butter
• ½ c brown sugar
• ½ c white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ c flour
• ½ cocoa
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 125 g white chocolate buttons, roughly chopped.

Preheat the oven to 180 C.

Beat the butter and sugars until creamy, add the egg and beat well.

Sift in the dry ingredients and mix to combine before adding the chocolate and mixing again.

Put spoonfuls of the mixture onto greased oven trays and bake for 12-15 mins or until the cookies feel firm.

• 1 kg washed beetroot
• 1 kg golden kumara
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• ¼ wholegrain mustard
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 2 oranges
• Italian parsley

Cover the beetroot and cook until tender.  Preheat the oven to 180C.

Wash the kumara, slice into chunks and put in a large baking dish with the canola oil.  Season with salt and pepper and bake for about 35 mins, stirring occasionally.

To make the dressing place the mustard, turmeric and olive oil into a bowl with the zest from the oranges.  Cut the skin and the pith from the oranges and segment them.

Peel and slice the beetroot and then arrange on a platter with the kumara and orange before pouring over the dressing and sprinkling with the chopped parsley
