Spelt Bread with Walnuts and Raisins

Crispy and fresh from the oven – that's how we like our bread best. This delicious homemade spelt bread with walnuts and raisins relies on long, slow fermentation with just a little yeast to develop gluten and flavour, rather than manual kneading. A 24-hour fermentation help develop a deeper, more complex, sourdough-like flavour and makes the bread more digestible. If you bake this bread in summer or your kitchen is very warm, or simply because you want to delay baking even longer, you can leave the dough rise in the refrigerator. I left mine in the refrigerator for the last 4 hours and the sticky dough was actually much easier to work with when it’s cold.

Parsley Root Saffron Bread

Mashed parsley root has significantly increased the moisture, softness, and tenderness to this sandwich loaf. I have added saffron to the dough for its bright golden-yellow colour, but it’s completely optional. You could just as easily throw some nutmeg or cinnamon into this bread too.
At first glance, parsley root and parsnip look quite similar in appearance, but the two plants are botanically quite different. Parsnip is kinda like a pale carrot, with a sweet, slightly nutty taste and a starchy texture while parsley root is earthy, savoury and herbaceous.

These cookie bars has a base of a peanuty cookies crust, a gooey filling featuring cream cheese, mint dark chocolate and roasted peanuts and a sensational crumble topping. The recipe is super easy to put together and makes the most delicious dessert! I have used coconut sugar, which is lower on the glycemic index than regular brown sugar, and replaced white sugar with erythritol, which doesn't significantly impact blood sugar levels, so you can indulge a bit without feeling too gulity.

Browned butter adds a rich, nutty, and complex depth of flavour to these crumb bars with a boozy creamy chestnut filling. They are excellent with topped with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. I used the thick homemade chestnut puree, therefore, a few tablespoons of honey whiskey (or cream) were added to make the filling spreadable. If you are using a much thinner storebought chestnut spread, just skip the alcohol. I also added some melted chocolate to the filling, but it’s completely optional.

Dinkel Quarkbrot - German Spelt Quark Bread

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.

Ras el Hanout Buttermilk Loaf Cake with Rose Icing

The cake is beautifully moist, rich and super comforting and has a very earthy flavour thanks to the North African spice blend ras el hanout. The spice mix works surprisingly well in this sweet buttermilk cake and rose syrup icing complements the spiciness perfectly.
Ras el Hanout, meaning 'top of the shop', is a popular spice blend used in Moroccan, Tunisian, and Algerian cuisines. This vibrant, warm and comforting spice blend comes in many different varieties with different ingredients. Common ingredients include cardamom, saffron, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, dry ginger, chili peppers, rose buds, coriander seed, peppercorn, sweet and hot paprika, fenugreek, and dry turmeric, but ras el hanout can contain up to 100 spices. It is perfect for tagines, couscous & vegetables, as a marinade and much more.

Coconut and Grapefruit Bars

A fun twist on a classic lemon bar, these coconut grapefruit bars come together quickly using sweet yet tangy fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Don’t use storebought grapefruit juice as it usually contains added sugar which masks the fruit's natural tanginess.
The combination of the citrusy grapefruit topping and the buttery coconuty base creates a delightful contrast that keeps you coming back for more! These are so easy to make and a perfect dessert for a party or potluck. If you’re a fan of citrus desserts, I’m sure you will enjoy these pretty pinky bars. Since grapefruits are naturally milder, so I have added some lemon juice to the curd, making it more tangy. But you can absolutely use just grapefruit juice.
Brush the buttery crust with two egg yolks after blind baking it before adding the topping. This extra step creates not only a more flavourful, glossy finish, but also a barrier that prevents the topping from making the crust soggy.

This is an easy autumnal dessert that infuses the subtle sweetness, earthy greenness and tropical aromas of humble fig leaves into a moist and flavourful cake with tahini for extra nuttiness and richness. It is a perfect teatime treat served with a dollop of whipped cream and extra fresh figs. The fig leaf serves as a natural and aromatic alternative to traditional parchment paper and imparts a subtle, aromatic flavour to baked goods. You can serve the cake either with fig slices or fig leaf facing up. Cashew butter or sunflower seed butter would be ideal substitutes for tahini.

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.

Fancy a little crunch? Then stir in some chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds to the batter.

This foolproof hearty quickbread is studded with rich, chewy figs and crunchy, earthy walnuts and lightly sweetened with erythritol, best served warm with some whipped ricotta, nut butter or honey. You can sub in olive oil, coconut oil, or butter for the walnut oil. I used white spelt flour, but a combination of whole and white flour would work lovely too. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.

Fig Spelt Galette with Goat Cheese

A rustic, freeform pastry made with spelt flour, filled with caramelised red onions, fresh figs, combined with goat cheese and refined with fresh rosemary. For the pastry, I used spelt flour, which goes particularly well with figs thanks to its nutty flavour. However, you can just as easily use regular wheat flour.
Whether as a starter, main course or party snack, the fig spelt galette is sure to be a real eye-catcher on any table. If time is tight, you can of course use ready-made dough from the supermarket for your galette.
