This Roasted Fennel makes a great side dish because it’s incredibly easy to make, and so delicious. Raw fennel is sharp and tastes like aniseed, but it transforms when roasted, losing all of its anise flavour and crunchy texture to become buttery and caramelized.
Agrodolce is an Italian sweet and sour sauce with a sticky consistency. Its name is Italian for “sour” (agro) and “sweet” (dolce). A classic agrodolce recipe contains reduced honey (or sugar), vinegar, pine nuts, red onion/shallot and a mixture of dried fruits, such as raisins, cranberries or dried apricots. The sauce is fantastic with Brussel's sprouts, cauliflowers or broccoli too.

Pogača, or pogacha is a white bread that Serbians, Croatians, Macedonians and other Balkans, Turks, and Hungarians claim as their own. There are as many recipes and variations for it as there are shapes, although round is traditional. There's also a fasting variant that contains no eggs, milk, or butter. You can make this bread using white plain flour, or a mix of wholegrain and plain flours. They are soft, pillowy and buttery. It's ideal for a party or to take to a gathering. To make it even more decadent and interesting, add some cheese, ham and herbs after brushing with the butter.

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.

Cooking and eating is a great way to get to know different food cultures and national cuisines. If you're looking for a new idea for a quick and easy meal, then this Chicken Satsivi, a Georgian culinary gem, is definitely something you must try.
Satsivi aka Chicken in Spiced Walnut Sauce is generally characterised by its delicious sauce, whose main ingredient is walnuts. Together with garlic and some spices, they create a wonderfully creamy and aromatic sauce, in which the chicken (breast or thigh) cooks until tedner to absorb the flavour of the sauce. It's a perfectly healthy comfort food that will make you warm and cozy on cold winter evenings. If you want to use a whole chicken, then it's better to precook and cut the chicken before infusing them with the sauce.

Served with a fluffy and flavourful bulgur prepared with peas, tomatoes and lots of spices. You can replace bulgur with couscous if desired and add some dried figs or apricots in it. Sprinkle some chopped pistachios over for extra crunch.

‘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.
