For my orange, cranberry and coconut balls,you will need:
150 g flour
50 g sugar or use 2 tablespoons honey
50 g butter
2 eggs
25 g cranberries chopped up into small pieces
3 drops of a good vanilla essence
grated zest of 1/4 lemon
Grated zest of a whole orange
200 g coconut, keep half the quantity aside to roll the balls
Juice of an orange
Preheat oven to 160 C.
Line a dish with baking paper.
Use an electric mixer to blend the sugar and butter.
Add the egg and vanilla essence, the orange juice little by little, then the grated citrus zest. Mix until it is consistent.
Add the flour and stir in using a metal spoon. Add half the coconut.
Form small balls and roll them in the rest of the coconut.
Place them on the baking tray and bake for half an hour.

![The weather is changing and here comes the autumn and some delicious roasts. Sprinkling some raw couscous on fennel and sesame seed potatoes before roasting them makes them extra crunchy and so soft inside.
300g potatoes, chopped with skin on
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons uncooked couscous
1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs [optional]
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
Sea Salt
Prepare an oven dish by greasing with a tablespoon of olive oil. In a large bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil, herbs and salt if you are using it. Finally add the raw couscous and toss again. Use your hands to mix the potatoes and ensure that they are consistently covered.
Place in a preheated oven at 220C for 35 minutes. Spinkle with more sea salt if desired, fennel and sesame seeds.
Serve hot or cold with drinks and a toothpick or as a side to a main meal. The inside remains soft and so creamy !
