i like the look of that purple broccoli! the radishes… uhm, not a huge fan of, but the combo sounds good!
Once when I was in Lille, the chef Réginald Ioos was cooking radishes and other vegetables with cod in honey & beer glaze. I was surprised how nice it was, never had cooked radishes before that day: https://www.coffeeandvanilla.com/?p=8005
