5 Peel orange with a vegetable peeler to get thick strips of orange peel, taking care not to get too much white pith. Julienne peel strips and set aside. Juice peeled orange into a small saucepan. 6 Bring orange juice to a boil over high heat. Stir in currants, then remove from heat and set aside to allow currants to cool to room temperature. 7 Peel beets and dice small. Place in a medium bowl and add soaked currants (along with any extra orange juice in pan), julienned orange peel and nuts, if desired. Season with salt. 8 When ready to serve, place strained yogurt in a serving bowl, beet and currant mixture in a second bowl, crackers in a third and dill fronds in a fourth. Let guests assemble their own canapé by spreading a little yogurt on a cracker, topping with beet and currant mixture and garnishing with a sprig or two of dill. Enjoy immediately.

3 Using a sharp paring knife, cut away roots and leafy tops from radishes, forming perfectly round spheres. Wash and thoroughly dry radishes. 4 Place softened butter in a large bowl and use a rubber spatula to fold in radishes. 5 Lightly oil a 3¼ × 5¾-in (2-cup/500 ml) mini loaf pan with vegetable oil and line with plastic wrap, allowing for at least 2-in (5 cm) overhang on all sides. Press and pull wrap as needed to eliminate air bubbles. Transfer radish butter to pan and spread it evenly to edges while packing it down firmly. Smooth top and tap pan on counter to remove any air bubbles. Wrap overhanging plastic wrap overtop butter and refrigerate until very firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. 6 When ready to serve, use plastic wrap to lift butter out of loaf pan and transfer to a work surface. Remove plastic wrap. Using a very sharp knife, cut into ¼-in (0.6 cm) thick slices. Any leftover butter can be wrapped in parchment and stored in refrigerator for up to 4 days. 7 Place each slice of butter on a piece of toasted baguette and garnish with a sprinkling of vanilla sea salt. Serve and enjoy. Makes 16 tartines
