Colourful, flavourful and easy to make, these bacon roasted pumpkin wedges with spinach salad are great as an appetizer, side dish or even a light lunch. Anything wrapped with bacon is superfood if you ask me, and the spinach salad with dried apricot and toasted pine nuts is a star on its own too. This is one ultimate cold weather comfort food you’ll treat yourself to again and again. Use other types of winter squashes (acorn, kent or butternut are all great) if you can't find hokkaido.

Salads are not just good for the warm weather. They can also be enjoyed at any other time of year, even the chilly season. They are packed with vitamins and nutrients if done right. The apple and fennel salad with pecans is a wonderful accompaniment to roast meat or fish. The simple dressing with olive oil, lime juice and apple juice also goes well with many other salads. If you like it a little creamier, you can also stir in a tablespoon of cream. Instead of pecans, you can also use walnuts, or almonds for the salad.
The beautiful fennel, native to the Mediterranean cuisine, is often overlooked by home cooks. The versatile bulb has virtually no calories, but is packed with valuable minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium, which can help improve digestion, lower blood pressure, and strengthen the immune system.

This wonderfully light, bright and fruity is packed with easy-to-find seasonal produce and loaded with delicious flavours and textures. It makes a perfect appetizer or as a light lunch. The sweetness of the clementine and figs pair perfectly with the bitterness of the arugula and tartness of pomegranate arils. If you don't like goat cheese, tangy and salty blue cheese would be an excellent alternative.

With this salad, you don't have to choose between nutrients-dense black lentils and sweet potatoes. Together with some fresh herbs and a poached egg, you can expect a real flavour experience. If you can't find beluga lentils, use French puy lentils. They both share the same size and texture and also hold their shape well when cooked. When poaching eggs, use the FRESH ones, ideally at room-temperature, as older eggs tend to have watery egg whites that won't closely surround the yolk when poached.

Fig leaves add a great mediterranean flavour to the feta as it bakes. If you can't get hold of any, then simply use a piece of foil to wrap the feta. The combination of briny feta, sweet ripe figs and earthy roasted pinenuts makes this late summer/early autumn salad a winner. For a more substantial meal, toss some cooked quinoa, legumes or grains with greens as the salad base.

Simple, classic and always popular: fresh goat's cheese wrapped in smoky bacon on a lettuce salad with baby radishes, raspberries and a thyme vinaigrette. This salad is particularly popular as a starter for festive menus. With some homemade sourdough bread, this salad will also make an excellent main course. It's quick to make, super tasty and an absolute eye-catcher. I used a mixture of oak leaf, lollo rosso und lollo bianco as the salad base, but you can use other lettuce or greens.

One of Italy's most popular ways to prepare steak--Tagliata which gets its name from the Italian verb tagliare, meaning 'to cut or slice'. It's perfect for any steak night dinner. Steak tagliata usually calls for sirloin, aka rump or flank, but I much prefer the texture and flavour of fatty ribeye. Traditionally, it's prepared on a grill, but you can easily make this with a grill pan or just a regular skillet.

Green beans are such a versatile vegetable. Blanch them and toss with crispy bacon, shaved egg and a wholegrain Dijon mustard vinaigrette for a delicious green bean salad that's perfect for lunch or dinner party. You can prepare green beans, bacon, dressing and eggs in advance and store separate in the refrigerator. Put it together just before serving. Haricots verts are French green beans, they are thinner, longer and straighter and cook faster.
