Assembly

Lay a triangle of sweet potato on the work bench, with the point facing away from you. Pipe a horizontal line of the mascarpone and

Store in the refrigerator until needed.

Before serving, place the croissants on a board and drizzle some lovage oil over them.

Brown with a cook’s blowtorch and arrange on the plate.

Finish with the lovage oil, mascarpone and gorgonzola cream, cubes of gorgonzola and lovage leaves.
