The natural sweetness of caramelised red onions pairs beautifully with the pungency of the black radishes. They are lightly seasoned with thyme and lemon zest and make a great low-carb option for those who are trying to avoid potatoes.
Black radishes, aka Spanish radishes, are an heirloom winter radish that originated in the Mediterranean region. You can enjoy them both raw and roasted. Unlike traditional red or white radishes, which are relatively mild, black radishes have a slightly bitter and pungent flavour and can be a powerful medicinal food, especially when it comes to digestion and detoxification. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are believed to cure cold, help detoxify the liver, kidneys and improve skin health.

Chicken tikka masala is a flavourful and aromatic curry dish, made in a similar way to butter chicken. If you love butter chicken, you might as well enjoy this spicier variant. It consists of marinated and grilled chicken pieces, known as "tikka," simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce infused with a blend of traditional Indian spices.
The dish’s origins are debated. One story purports that it was invented in the 1970s by Ali Ahmed Aslam, a Bangladeshi chef in Glasgow, Scotland, who improvised the recipe by combining grilled chicken tikka with a creamy tomato-based sauce, resulting in the iconic dish we know today. Many consider it to be the national dish of the UK. In 2001 British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook gave a speech in which he hailed chicken tikka masala as a “true British national dish” and a symbol of modern multicultural Britain. He even offered his own simplified explanation of how it evolved: “Chicken tikka is an Indian dish. The masala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy.”

Mavrou, a traditional Cape Malay beef curry which is usually served at weddings, on Eid and other family gatherings and special occasions. It's a comforting and hearty dish and a perfect fusion of culinary traditions brought to South Africa by enslaved folks from the Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and East Africa, alongside Dutch influences. Cape Malay cuisine is renowned for its vibrant use of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and chilli, often balanced with fruit and sweet components like apricot or tamarind. The name "Mavrou" itself is believed to stem from the African word "Mevrou," meaning "Madam" or "Ma'am," possibly implying it being a refined dish or one expertly prepared by the mistress of the house.

Spelt is a type of wheat and therefore similar in terms of nutrients, but it contains slightly more protein than its ‘big brother’. But spelt also packs a punch in terms of taste: it has a nuttier and stronger flavour than wheat.
Quark is also a good source of protein and is enriched with certain acid bacteria that are good for digestion and intestinal flora. Spelt quark bread is therefore not only for athletes, but also for people who fancy a moist bread with a delicious taste.
This Quarkbrot is leavened with baking powder and allows you to bake a light and airy loaf of bread with healthy nutrients in just 1 hour, which is perfect if you are in a hurry or have decided to bake bread on the spur of the moment.

The buttermilk gives the chicken a wonderful and tangy flavour that compliments the lemon, dill, and garlic. And the chicken stays so moist and tender in contrast with the crispy skin. They're quick and easy to make – start in the oven and finish on the barbecue or griddle for the ultimate smoky flavour. It's as good cold as it is hot, in case you have any left over. If you want to make a sauce with the marinade, then melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan, stir in a tablespoon of plain flour and cook gently for a minute or two to make a roux. Slowly add half a cup of milk or cream and stir until it has thickened, then stir in the remaining buttermilk marinade. Bring it to a boil and season to taste.

Swap regular wheat bread for this healthy, satisfying, high-fiber, protein-rich lentil bread! It’s naturally gluten free, budget friendly and packed with nutrients thanks to the wholesome ingredients like red lentils, labneh, Parmesan, eggs, olive oil and parsley. The lentil bread usually stays fresh for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can slice and freeze them though. Soak the red lentils for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

This effortless and delicious Spanish chicken is the perfect harmony of aroma, flavour and colour. A simple marinade prepared with lots of fino sherry, white wine and spices used as the sauce and basting liquid. Perfect for any day or night of the week. Marination is the key to the perfection of the taste. So the longer you can let the marinade do its magic, the tastier the chicken gets. I left mine marinate for 16 hours, but if you are in a hurry, give it at least 4 hours up to 24 hours. Plan ahead, then you won’t be disappointed. Serve the chicken with crusty bread to mop up the sauce, or with some roasted potatoes or just a salad of your choice. I made a black radish salad with it.

Bring the deeply comforting, sweet, and nutty scent of roasting chestnuts to your home by cooking in the oven for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle them with a little of sea salt flakes and enjoy them as a snack for chilly winter evenings. Or you can turn them into deliciously creamy chestnut puree which features in lots of desert recipes, like iconic French dessert Mont Blanc and Turkish chocolate covered chestnut Karyoka, cakes or simply just as a bread spread. While you can buy canned chestnut puree, it's hard to beat making your own and it tastes a million times better than anything you'll buy in a store. Plus the store-bought chestnut paste oftentimes tends to be overly sweet. A fantastic shortcut for making chestnut puree is to use vacuum-packed roasted chestnuts.
Depending on the recipe you plan to use, you may want the puree to have a thicker or thinner consistency. If you prefer a denser, more paste-like texture, use 1-2 tablespoons of liquid. For a creamier chestnut spread consistency, use more or all the liquid. I used about 4 tablespoons.

Here’s a super simple, energising and satisfying snack that everyone, including kids, would love! It can be made in just a few minutes for when you need to grab and go. A jazzed up version of apple rings with peanut butter--slathering a slice of a tart apple ring with pure pistachio butter, sprinkling it with salt flakes, then topping it with a variety of healthy seeds and nuts results in the best crunchy-creamy, fulfilling breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. I used Braeburn, but honeycrispy, granny smith or pink lady are equally great.

Içli Köfte, similar to Middle Eastern kibbeh, are Turkish finger food at its best! Crispy on the outside, with a spiced minced meat filling on the inside. Sometimes walnuts or pinenuts are added to the filling for a touch of sweetness and crunch. Hugely popular in Turkey, but a little tricky to make. The trick is to make a dough for the shell, which must retain the grittiness of the fine bulgur, but must not break when shaping and frying. So don’t try to add lots of flour to the crust, or your köfte crust would taste like dough. The outer shell contains also some minced meat which makes it richer and more delicious. İçli Köfte freeze beautifully and you can make them ahead too. Keep the uncooked köfte in the freezer for up to 3 months, take them out, and fry whenever you need, without needing to defrost them. The best way to enjoy these delicious treats is to deep fry them, but you can make them by lightly oiling them and baking in the oven at 200C/400F for about 30 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
