‘Tegole’ is the Italian word for tiles and when you look at the flat biscuits, this name is very appropriate. ‘Valdostane’ is a shortened form of Valle d'Aostal. These wafer-thin crispy nutty biscuits are tiles from the Valle d'Aosta, according to the name. They are made with a batter rather than a dough, and be sure to keep them in an airtight container to retain their delightfully light crunch. A perfect accompaniment to an espresso!

You should bake this moist Christmas stollen just in time for Advent (Sun, Dec 1, 2024 – Tue, Dec 24, 2024) to sweeten the festive season for you and your family. Marzipan, raisins, roasted almonds and candied orange peel make it a delicious and festive treat. If you are not a fan of raisins, you can either leave them out or you can replace them with other dried fruit such as cranberries, chopped dates, apricots or sour cherries. To soak the raisins you can also use water or apple juice instead of rum, so the children and pregnant women will also be able to enjoy it. Both candied orange peel and bitter almond extract are classics in a traditional stollen, but they are not so popular with some people. You can omit both and your marzipanstollen will still be great. Enjoy it with a glass of mulled wine or a cup of coffee.

This smothered chicken thighs recipe uses skin on and bone-in chicken thighs with a rich sauce made from lots of onions, whiskey, garlic, and chicken stock. The chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavour, making it the perfect comforting dinner. I only used 250 ml chicken stock, as I prefer the onion sauce thicker and chunckier, but you can customize it and use more stock to suit your preferences. Use thyme if you can't find fresh tarragon.

These Himmelsboten are not only popular with the little ones. My husband is also completely addicted to these cookies. I used a simple and very basic 3-ingredient shortcrust pastry, but you can add some orange peels or vanilla extract. Cut it out and then decorate with sugar icing and chocolate lentils or almonds if you want a healthier alternative. They are a delicious creation for the Christmas season. There are only two other things to note. The prongs of the stars should be at least three centimetres long so that you can wrap the Smartie or almond well. And you need a star or snowflake cookie cutter with five prongs so that the celestial messengers look like a humab figure.

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.

The great thing about curry is the wide variety of flavours: this recipe with minced beef and garden peas goes well with a mild curry. Spicy, warming, nutritious and simply delicious--a must for cold days. Serve it with steamed rice, naan, noodles or potatoes. Besides garden peas, you can also use Brussel sprouts, spinach or winter squashes.

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.
