    I boiled the sweet potato with an apple and some nutmeg and a bit of milk and then whirled it in a food processor for a smooth puree. On top of that I put the spinach (no mushrooms) and then the grilled salmon with a touch of Asian chili sauce with pineapple. This was like eating in a restaurant. - 2/3/09
