20151011in good tasteThe market here (in Barbados) is rife with orange-flesh sweet potatoes. They are a joy to bake with simply because they make everything look stunning with a rich golden-orange hue. They are also sweeter than the other varieties and less starchy.

Breads, bakes and pancakes all get added tenderness and sweetness when sweet potatoes are added to the mix. This time around, I decided to make some steamed dumplings. These dumplings can be used as dinner rolls or as a side dish to stews, but honestly, they are so delicious on their own that all you need is your favourite hot or cold beverage to accompany them.
