‘Heinerle’ aka Heinerla, Heinerli, Schokoladina or Schokoladinchen, are melt-in-the-mouth and very chocolaty praline-like Christmas biscuits from Franken (in the north of the Bavaria Germany) that require no baking at all. However, the chilled layers of chocolate wafers are not exactly easy to cut, so it is a good idea to have a little patience and a little strength. A mixture is made from coconut fat, icing sugar, chocolate and eggs, then spread layer by layer on rectangular wafers. The origin of Heinerle probably lies in the use of baking wafers left over from making Lebkuchen, but nobody knows exactly where the ‘Heinerli’ come from. Nor when they were created.

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.

Tahinli çörek or simply tahini roll/bun is an absolute must for every fan of yeast dough! You probably know Swedish cinnamon rolls, don't you? The wonderfully fragrant tahinli çörek shares the similar concept, but is filled with a mixture of sesame paste and xylitol or caster sugar. This combination gives the bun a delicate nutty flavour and paired with an enriched tender yeast dough is simply melt-in-the-mouth delicious. The best accompaniment is a Turkish coffee which balance out the sweetness fantastically with the bitterness. You can make 6-8 small tahini buns from the dough like orginal recipe or make two big ones that I made here to share and enjoy with tea or coffee.

Tuck into this glorious cut of braised beef ribs, resting atop a mountain of creamy pumpkin pureé and pangrattato. It's truly the ultimate comfort food for winter.
Pangrattato is an Italian condiment used to take your dishes to the next level! They are breadcrumbs which have been seasoned and toasted to bring some crunch and texture to dishes such as pastas, vegetables and other dishes. Traditionally, it's made using stale bread, garlic, herbs, and olive oil. I have used ground pork rind instead to make the recipe lowcarb-friendly.

You can't beat the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through your home. This is a classic whole-grain yeasted spelt bread, refined with olive oil and pomegranate seeds. Start the recipe with an extra step and make a 20-minute-starter, and you are going to be rewarded later with an incredibly delicious pomegranate bread. You can taste and feel the difference to shop-bought bread straight away. Enjoy it lukewarm slathered with some salted butter.

I love chicken thighs and legs in case you haven't noticed it yet. Bone in, skin on thighs / legs are so much juicier and have more flavour, but it really all comes down to personal preference! If you want to use chicken breast, go for it. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. The sauce used two types of mustards: wholegrain and smooth. So do expect it's full of mustard flavour. I used Maille, but you can use any other quality brands.

When the weather turns and the thermometer dips, a hot bowl of soup is just delightful. Though so creamy and rich, this gluten free butternut squash soup contains no cream (except a few drops of coconut cream for the garnish). The secret lies in the add of tahini. Serve with a slice of homemade bread and top with a few crispy sage leaves, for a hearty bowl of creamy goodness. It’s one of the easiest meals to make with just a handful of ingredients, and it’s almost impossible to mess up.

Deliciously festive cut-out cookies inspired by the classic Mozartkugel, a praline made from chocolate, pistachios, marzipan and nougat. It was created by Salzburg / Austria confectioner Paul Fürst in 1890 and named after the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The heart of the Salzburg Mozartkugel is made from green marzipan. Use raw pistachios for a better result.

Fancy a change and lots of colour in the morning? Then you should these beetroot pancakes for a vital start to the day. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are also made with some healthy ingredients. You don't have to compromise on flavour and sweetness even if you are trying to cut back the consumption of refined white sugar. These pancakes are sweetened with honey and if you want it sweeter, then serve them with maple syrup. In case you want to avoid sugar completely, I would recommend using erythritol or xylitol, which gives a more natural sweetness and mouth feel.
Beetroot is very healthy and always looks great when used to colour food. The bright red colour is simply special. Any cooked beetroot works, use roasted beetroot if you prefer a deeper purple colour and richer flavour. I used chickpea flour as an alternative to wheat flour. This makes these pancakes lower in carbohydrates and richer in fibre, as well as being gluten-free.

Fresh, crispy and sweet snow peas are really ideal for a quick stirfry. You can also add protein (chicken, prawn, egg or tempeh) to this simple dish. It's easy to prepare and ready within 15 minutes. Just simply shred the trimmed snow peas and toss with chilli and ginger for maximum flavour and crunch.
Snow peas, aka Chinese pea pods, are young and flat with very small peas inside (different from rounded snap peas) and typically available all year-round, but the peak season is spring through early winter. As their name implies, snow peas can survive frost and snow.
