Kolache (ko-LAH-ch), or Koláče in Czech, is a sweet Czech pastry made from a sweet yeast dough with various fillings. Authentic Czech kolache are usually round and filled to the brim with either poppy, cheese or jam, then topped with just the right amount of crumble. Soft, pillowy, and buttery kolache are delicious warm from the oven and are best the day they are made. Serve them as a breakfast, or afternoon snack with tea or coffee or any time you like one.
If you are going to try the cheese filling, mix 250 grams of cottage cheese, 50 grams of erythritol or sugar, 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract together. The poppy filling recipe is enough for two batch of dough. Half the filling or double the dough. I portioned the dough into 9, each about 100 grams, but you can make 18 smaller kolache.

Castagnole are traditional Italian carnival fritters, named for their chestnut-like shape. They're made with a mixture of flour, egg and sugar to which a little liqueur is added – usually anisette, rum or grappa and scented with citrus. These sweet dough balls are deep-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft center. This recipe made with yoghurt makes them particularly soft and delicious. They are typically rolled in sugar while still warm. Castagnole are wonderful all on their own, but you can also poke a hole in them and fill with jam, nutella, pistachio cream or white chocolate cream. Like any deep fried food, they are at their best eaten the same day while still warm and soft because they get slightly drier after a day or two.

Today I have another delicious snack idea and a quick recipe using storebought puff pastry. These minced lamb puff pastry rolls with dates are really tasty, hearty finger food that are sure to win you over with their unique flavour. The fact that they are quite easy to make is just another bonus for all snack lovers. These savoury pastry rolls definitely need a creamy sauce to go with them. As I used lamb, and it’s autumn, plum ketchup is the obvious choice. However, a simple garlic yoghurt dip or Greek tzatziki would also work very well.

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.

All you need are just a few basic pantry ingredients for these satisfying and delicious Chinese scallion pancakes or Cong You Bing/葱油饼in Chinese. Strictly speaking, this is not a pancake, but rather a rich, flaky stuffed flatbread bursting with scallion flavour. No matter what it is called, they are delicious and comforting. The dough here is made with HOT BOILING WATER, which helps gelatinize the starch in the flour and create a soft, tender, and flaky texture. The pan must be HOT before you add dough to fry, otherwise they will end up soaking up a lot of lard and become too doughy and heavy instead of crispy and light. Grew up eating those pancakes as breakfast or snacks in the afternoon, my mom always prepared them with lard, but you can use oil or even coconut oil.

These simple herbs loaded fritters, served with an even simpler garlicky yoghurt sauce, are from South-Eastern Turkey. I used chickpea flour to make them gluten free, but you definitely can use plain flour if you have no issues with gluten. Serve them hot while still very crispy, but they are very tasty even warm or cold.

This is one of those classic appetizer recipes that works at any time of day. It's absolutely delicious and yet so simple to whip up. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and pair perfectly with a homemade sweet chilli sauce, which will keep for about a month in the fridge. You can also freeze the sauce in small portions in ice cube tray. I have added a mini paprika (or 1/3 of regular red paprika) to the sauce for a fruity note.

Whether as a snack between meals, with an afternoon coffee or as an office treat: these apricot oat slices taste great and are a delight! They are easy to transport and can also be made in advance as they stay fresh in the fridge for several days. Conveniently, you don't need to use the oven, just chill them. Oat flakes, dried apricots, coconut flakes and almond meal are not only filling but also nutritious. A silky coating of Lindt white chocolate provides the fun gourmet factor. The subtly hot and fruity chilli thread are the perfect addition to elevate chocolate taste, adding a delightful kick to each bite.

Anchovies might be small, but they have huge health benefits and flavour. They are a good source of omega-3, protein, various vitamins and minerals. So I hope that you embrace the idea of popping the whole fish (yes, heads, bones, fins..all is GOOD) into the mouth and savour every bit of this oily, bite-size superfood. The preparation is rather simple and straightforward-fresh anchovies are rinsed, dried and simply battered by tossing them with ground pork rind (or flour if you ain't on keto) and then in egg, and then quickly fried in tallow (or olive oil) until golden brown. They are great as a snack or an appetizer.

Soft on the inside, with a beautifully golden crust on the outside and full of autumnal flavours. A delicious, earthy truffle balsamic glaze adds a quality touch to this humble pumpkin treat--a combination you won’t want to miss! Tear the fritters in half and give them a good soak and enjoy!

These vegetarian patties are chewy, nutty and so flavourful. You could put them in wraps / pita pockets, or as topping for salads. Bulgur is cracked wheat berries that have been partially cooked and then dried. This whole grain is nutty and rich in fiber, it cooks fast and is used a lot in Mediterranean cuisine.
