Warm the milk to lukewarm then add the yeast and stir. Allow to stand for 5 minutes for the yeast to develop. Place the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the eggs and the yeast mixture and using the dough hook, knead for 3 to 4 minutes or until the dough comes together. Add the softened butter and continue to knead until the dough is glossy and elastic. The dough should spring back when gently pressed with your finger. Shape the dough into a ball and place into a lightly greased bowl. Select Dough Prove 1 and allow the dough to prove for 45 to 50 minutes or until doubled in bulk. While the dough is proving, prepare the filling by combining the ingredients in a medium size bowl. Using electric beaters cream the mixture until well combined. Line the universal tray with baking paper. Remove the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Knock the air out of the dough and knead lightly. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a rectangular shape approximately 45cm by 28cm.  Spread the filling mixture over the dough leaving a 1cm border on both long sides. Carefully roll the lengthwise, then using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 15 even pieces. Arrange on the prepared tray allowing some room for spreading. Place the scrolls back into the oven on the Dough Prove 1 function and prove for 20 minutes. Wipe any excess water from the base of the oven & preheat on CircoTherm® at 180°C. Cook for 18 to 20 minutes (see note if you have an oven with VarioSteam). While the scrolls are cooking, make the frosting by placing the cream cheese, butter & vanilla into a mixing bowl and mix with electric beaters until light and creamy. Gradually beat in the icing sugar and mix well. Spread the frosting over the scrolls while they are still warm & serve. Note A low level of VarioSteam (added steam) can be added when baking.

Preheat oven to 200° C CircoTherm®. Remove the skin from the saddle of venison then carefully remove the strands of meat to the right and left of the spine as well as the fillets. Put the meat to one side. Coarsely chop the bones using a sharp knife or cleaver and place on a baking sheet together with the skin. Mix with one tablespoon of oil. Grill the bones for 25 min at 200°C using the CircoTherm® Hot Air grill function. Wash the soup vegetables, chop coarsely, then quarter the tomatoes. Add the vegetables, water, red wine, spruce needles and pepper to the roasted bones on the baking sheet. Season everything and steam in the oven at approx. 95° C using the Steam function. Pass the sauce stock through a sieve, then pour into a pan without lid and leave to reduce for about 30 minutes. To make the herb crust, mix the butter, pepper, garlic, herbs, spruce needles, lime zest and nuts. Add the panko breadcrumbs and knead until you have a crumbly dough. Place in the refrigerator. Peel the sweet potatoes and potatoes and boil in a little salted water for 20 minutes. Drain the water, allow the steam to evaporate and mix with butter, milk, nutmeg and salt to form a creamy mash. Keep warm. Brush the meat with oil, season with salt and pepper and sear on the griddle or in a pan for about 3 minutes per side. Place on a grill rack and sprinkle the herby nut crust mix on top. Cook for about 15 minutes at 80°C CircoTherm® until the meat reaches a core temperature of 60°C. Then crisp up the crust by grilling for 2 minutes at 200° C. Note: ensure that the crust does not become too dark. Remove the meat from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes. Season the sauce with rosehip purée, pepper and salt, remove from the heat and thicken if required using 1-2 teaspoons of cold butter. Cut the meat into slices and serve with the sauce and sweet potato mash.

Preheat oven on CircoTherm® to 190°C. Spray a sheet of filo with the olive oil spray then very lightly scrunch and place into the base of a greased 24cm deep ceramic pie dish, repeat with another 7 pastry bundles to make the base layer. Arrange half the fruit over the pastry then repeat with the remaining 8 sheets of pastry to make a layer over the top.  Be careful not to squash down the pastry. Top with the remaining fruit. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. Whisk together the sour cream, milk, sugar, eggs and lemon rind.  Pour the custard gently over the pastry and scatter over the flaked almonds. Bake adding a low level of steam for a further 20-25 minutes until golden and custard is set. Brush gently with the warm marmalade and serve warm or cold with a drizzle of cream.

Set your oven to FullSteam at 100°C and set the timer for 30 minutes. Place the couscous and orange juice into an oven proof dish large enough to hold everything comfortably then put into the oven. Place the asparagus and peas into a perforated steam dish and cook in the steam oven for 5 minutes.  Remove and set aside to cool while the couscous finishes cooking. Take half the parsley and half the mint and blitz in a food processor or mortar and pestle with the 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil until you have a paste.  Chop the remaining parsley and mint roughly.   Add the paste and the chopped herbs to a large mixing bowl.  Add the orange segments, spring onions, pine nuts and the cooled asparagus and peas to the bowl.  Set aside. In a screw top jar, add the 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar and mustard and shake to combine well.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add this to the mixing bowl. Remove the couscous at the end of the cooking time.  All the orange juice should have absorbed, but if you have a little bit left, drain this from the couscous. Cool the couscous then add to the mixing bowl with all the other ingredients. Mix all the ingredients with a fork to prevent the couscous clumping together, then add the rocket and gently mix this through.  Season with salt and pepper then pile onto a serving platter.  Garnish with a few herb sprigs on top.

Coconut & Sesame Chicken Tenders with Mango Salsa This dish tastes as delightfully bright, zesty and fresh as it looks.

Tips to keep your meals lighter and healthier  Where possible, removing the skin and any additional fat from your meat before cooking can be a simple way to make your meal healthier. Using steam, spices, herbs and other seasonings ensures your meat retains its full flavour. Lighter sauces that are based on yoghurts and vegetables can also be an ideal way to dial up the flavour without unnecessary oils and butter. And by choosing a wide array of colourful, seasonal fruits and vegetables to add to your plate, you’ll find it easier to feel satisfied without depriving yourself of the joy of a range of delicious, fulfilling foods.
