Quinces are sort of cousins to apples and pears, but they're an entirely different fruit altogether. They can’t be eaten fresh. To enjoy quinces, they must be cooked until completely soft and falling apart. When fresh, they’re hard as a rock, bitter and astringent. Once cooked, the cream coloured flesh will turn pink with a floral flavour.
The ingredients for this quince jelly are quite simple, and all you really need are quince, water and sugar. But a little bit of star anise, cinnamon, or ginger brings a warmth and extra dimension to the aroma of the fruit. Quince is very high in pectin, so lemon is not required for making the jelly. However, fresh lemon juice will heighten flavour of the fruit. You do not need to peel your quince before cooking it to make jelly. Nor do you need to core it. Just scrub off the furry coating and wash them clean before using.
Serve quince jelly as part of a cheeseboard, or alongside pork or game dishes, or with some homemade bread or crackers.

This refreshing and crunchy carpaccio variation with kohlrabi and apples scores points thanks to its fresh ingredients and a nutty, earthy Styrian pumpkin seed oil vinaigrette. Toasted pepitas and parsley make great toppings. Easy and delicious!
Since pumpkin seed oil is rather thick, you can use 1-2 tablespoons water or broth to dilute the dressing. You can also make this into a simple salad by cutting kohlrabi and apple into sticks, which then tossed with the dressing.

These bakery style cookie butter cookies are absolutely irresistible. The dough, made with Lotus spread, Lotus biscuits and chocolate chips, is baked in the oven in no time at all to yield thick, chewy, rustic cookies. You won't be able to eat just one! You can either use Lotus Biscoff brand of cookie butter or other cookie butter. Feel free to swap out chocolate chips for butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips or even nuts, but keep the amount the same. For an even more chocolatey treat, dip them halfway into chocolate icing after they have cooled.

Super chocolaty, moist and with a fine pumpkin cheesecake swirl: these pumpkin brownies literally melt in your mouth! Served with a hot cup of tea, they really put one in the mood for autumn.
Is there really pumpkin in there? DEFINITELY! The all-rounder Hokkaido is mixed into the brownie as a pumpkin cheesecake swirl. It not only gives the little chocolate cake a visual upgrade, but also a special juiciness and mild sweetness. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice are also included and make this autumnal treat perfect. If you like, you can also add a little ginger or simply use pumpkin pie spice blend. Fancy a little crunch? Then stir in some chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds to the batter.

The savoury pumpkin mousse terrine is the perfect combination of fluffy, creamy texture and piquant flavours. This dish cleverly balances the sweetness of pumpkin with savoury ingredients. It is ideal as a starter, with a salad, or for sandwiches and goes wonderfully with an autumn menu.
If you don’t have French Noilly Prat vermouth, use Italian Cinzano or even a white wine instead. Admittedly, this is somewhat time-consuming to make, but it never ceases to amaze. Try it, you'll be blown away! Use a pretty triangular terrine mould if you happen to have one, otherwise, a cake pan lined with plastic film works just as fine.

Small but mighty, the so-called pseudo-grains quinoa and buckwheat are rich in protein, nutritious and full of energy. These tiny seeds can not only be cooked like rice, but also used to bake bread. This recipe for quinoa bread with rice, buckwheat and cornmeal promises not only a particularly inexpensive treat, but also naturally gluten-free. But the best thing is: when you bake your own bread, you know exactly what's in it. And if necessary, you can easily swap, omit or add one or two ingredients. And if it doesn't have to be gluten-free, you can try replacing some of flour mixture with wheat flour. This guarantees the perfect bread enjoyment – preferably fresh and still warm from the oven!

Frango is Portuguese for chicken while Pinga refers to cachaça. Boneless chicken legs, marinated in cachaça, olive oil, parsley and garlic overnight in the fridge, then grilled to perfection--easy to prepare and a crowd pleaser for sure. Serve it with a fresh herb salad, fries, or some rice and black beans. Cachaça, aka pinga or caninha, the most popular spirit in Brazil, is made from sugar cane and apart from being crucial to cocktails such as the caipirinha, it makes a great marinade for meat or fish. Cachaça is available at large liquor outlets, supermarkets or online. If not, use white rum instead.

Biberli Ekmek, originating from Hatay in southern Turkey, is a soft, savory flatbread enhanced with walnuts, sesame, traditional spices and spicy red pepper paste. Hatay cuisine is well known for its use of rich, unique spices, a wide array of flavourful kebabs, and the distinctly Turkish dessert: künefe.
The recipe is good for two large flatbread or 8 smaller ones like the way I did here. Enjoy them as breakfast, an afternoon snack, or alongside with a fresh seasonal salad or soup for a satisfying meal.

Falafel is a dish that, when prepared well, can be exceptionally delicious. Or completely inedible. For me, falafel must be hot and really crispy on the outside, but soft and slightly fluffy within, yet still juicy. The seasoning must also be just right: chickpeas tend to absorb the flavour of their accompanying ingredients, making them really versatile. However, you don’t want to overpowers the delicious flavour of the chickpeas by over-seasoning. The grated butternut pumpkin adds a little sweetness and keeps these little treats from drying out. The falafels can be baked in the oven, airfried, or shallow-fried, but deep-frying proves the best option and creates a crispy exterior while keeping the interior moist. These falafels are delicious, perfect to share, and naturally gluten free. Enjoy them in a salad, stuffed inside pita pocket, or on their own.

Zwieback, German word for “twice-baked”, is pretty simple to make and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. Traditionally it’s made with wheat, but today I am sharing a gluten free version made with rice. A basic sponge loaf with Styrian pumpkin seeds folded in, first baked, then cut into thin slices and baked for the second time until crispy, golden and toasted, closely resemble melba toast.
These plain-jane biscuits are excellent either at teatime, breakfast with butter, jam, cheese or as a crunchy snack on its own. You can swap out the pumpkin seeds for coarsely chopped walnuts or almonds.
