Good things take time, so start this recipe at least 1 day in advance to macerate the fruit and allow additional time for cooling. Traditional fruitcake is such a joy at Christmas time. Dense with brandy-soaked dried fruit and warming spices, this means a little goes a long way! This recipe adds a delicious yet modern twist on a classic fruitcake by using candied ginger, dried cherries, physalis, barberries, macadamias, coconut suguar and ginger shot to the batter. If you don't bake with alcohol, then replace it with apple or orange juice.

This Pumpkin Walnut Pâtés is delicious, vegetarian-friendly and perfect for dipping into with slices of crusty bread, crackers, grissini or vegetable sticks. You can serve this as an appetizer for any of your holiday parties. I used homemade roasted hokkaido for this, but butternut squash or even canned pumpkin will work just as fine. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

This hearty peanut soup recipe is made with simple ingredients like all natural peanut butter and tomato puree, but packed with flavour and nutrients. It's dairy-free, gluten-free and keto-friendly. Natural peanut butter works the best for the soup as it is made with just fresh roasted peanuts and a dash of salt and contains no other additives like sugar, preservatives and trans fat. If you have a high-powered blender or processor, then it's very easy to make your own. Simply roast the peanuts, add them to the food processor with a little sea salt, and process to a smooth paste.

There is just something so relaxing about throwing everything into a roasting pan and then popping into the oven where the chicken drumsticks bake merrily away until golden, juicy and tender without any input from you. Big on flavour, low on effort, ready in an hour and there is much less washing up at the end, too. If desired, add some chopped sweet potatoes or pumpkins at the bottom of the roasting pan, so they soak up all the juices from the spices, lemon and chicken as they cook.

The creamy and flavourful Indian-inspired salad dressing with uniquely warming spices and coconut cream livens up the green beans and works great with other vegetables too. Nigella seeds add an herby-oniony flavour while pink pepperberries add a floral note and a gorgeous pop of colour and subtle crunch. This easy salad takes less than 30 minutes to pull together and makes a versatile side dish or starter. Feel free to add some crispy bacon or nuts if desired.

This savoury salmon tart is perfect for a light meal served with some bitter arugula salad and lemon wedges, to take to a picnic or as a lunch box filler. It transports well and can be enjoyed warm or cold. You can use ready-to-roll butter puff pastry in place of keto crust or shortcrust as the base for this quiche, though making your own pastry is far easier than you might think. If you use ready-made pastry, the tart can be ready in about 30 minutes.

These richly spiced lamb meatballs are quick and easy to make but are packed full of flavour thanks to the fruity, sweet, and tart pomegranate molasses and garlicky and spicy harissa. They have Mediterranean vibes and with a richly flavoured and aromatic harissa sauce. Harissa is essentially a Tunisian chilli pepper paste, and there are lots of variations. You can make your own or use ready-made. Pomegranate molasses can be found in Turkish stores or online.

Loaded with dried cranberries, apricots and chunks of marzipan, this well spiced holiday traybake is quick and easy to make, perfect for sharing and gifting. Those stollen bites have all the wonderful festive flavours of German Christstollen without going to the effort of making the real thing. A festive and delightful treat that is sure to please and impress. I used less sugar than the original recipe calls for and used more orange juice, so the batter won't be too dry. You can also replace some sugar with applesauce.

Sauerkraut as the secret ingredient for ultra-juicy chocolate cake? Sounds kind of strange, but it really works. Don't worry, you won't taste the sauerkraut. Generally I prefer cakes with vegetables in them. Whether it's a carrot cake or zucchini cake, cake with beet, etc. Vegetables turn cakes into a special and very moist treat. If you like your cake a little healthier and nuttier, you can also replace the white spelt flour with wholegrain spelt flour. Leave the chocolate cake to stand in the fridge for at least a day, preferably two days, before eating. It tastes wonderful with whipped cream.

It's not typical to bake a good rye bread without using sourdough starter, and it can be quite challenging as the gluten in rye does not develop into strong and stretchy dough the way wheat gluten does, so the dough is more fragile, sticker, and the crumb is usually tighter and denser due to its low gluten content. And it also takes ages to rise, sometimes it could take up to 3-4 days before the bread is done. But it's undoubtly more delicious, flavourful and nutritious. This is why I am so excited to share this effortless overnight 100% rye bread recipe with you. We will use exclusively two grams of fresh yeast and an overnight rest of the dough to make the bread even more digestible and aromatic. Due to the long fermentation, sugar molecules that are difficult to digest and cause bloating and discomfort are broken down. Besides that, fiber and starch swell better, which also ensures better digestibility. If desired, you can also add 1 tablespoon of caraway or anise seeds to help with the digestion and for an even earthier flavour.
Unlike wheat breads which are best eaten shortly after cooling or right out of the oven, both the texture and flavour of rye bread improves after a rest of 12-24 hours. Once the bread has cooled completely, place it in a paper bag or wrap it loosely in foil and slice it the next day. If you can't wait, then allow it to rest at least 3 hours before slicing.
