Halloween time: ) which brings to mind pumpkins!
I love this soup as it has added pulses and other orange vegetables such as sweet potato and carrot etc - you can blend it smooth or mash it rustic.
A great all-round family meal. Thanks Kalina!

This marinade works with either of these three cuts of lamb - slow cooking a lamb shoulder, searing lamb cutlets or roasting lamb fillets.
It has so much punch to it I love it.
Servedwith yoghurt and Nicola's couscous to mop up the juices, you can choose whichever cut suits the time available or the style you are going for.

Summer herbs will be here and when basil is in full swing this is the absolute best way to use a bunch of it - tossed in pasta, stirred into spring vegetable soups, as a dip..
add a few more healthy nuts such as walnuts and/or brazil nuts for some extra nutrition.

An old family recipe from my mum, only 4 ingredients too.
This made for a simple lunch down the south coast on the weekend with fresh bread when someone had an over supply of mint.
It is so easy to make, so refreshingly different too, and delicious.
Suits many cuisines as a starter as well from Moroccan to French..

For a kiwi turn!
This is really a sweet potato gratin with cheese and bacon and is comfort food through and true.
A wonderful side dish for any roast.
