Nothing like getting your mitts around a mug of mulled cider to banish blustery autumnal blues and chills. Use the best cloudy apple juice for a yummy alcohol free brew that’s sure to warm all bellies.

A bit of pumpkin puree with your espresso, milk of choice and warm spices makes this PSL extra special! Option to add a pinch of black pepper for extra spice.

Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg along with pumpkins, cookies, pumpkin pie and oak leaves. A real taste of autumn!

Spice it up - this spicy, hot fruit drink is my go to whenever a sore throat is approaching. It is very spicy, but delicious and feels like a comfy scarf from the inside. It calms the pain in my throat and makes me very warm. Perfect to snuggle on the couch and recover.

My friend gave me a recipe for spicy berry chutney and told me it disappears in minutes after opening the jar. The recipe was in German (a language I only know a few words and how to construct sentences :))) so I tried to translate it and the minute I saw the word blackberries I remembered the marvelous forest path in the mountains that we often go to on the weekends. At this time of the year it is full of blackberries and they are very juicy and fragrant.
So we went berry picking and came back with the most substantial ingredient for that chutney.
I changed the recipe a bit and here it is! It is super easy and very delicious. Enjoy!

One of the best ways to add instant flavour to dishes is cooking with spices. They not only give a boost to your taste buds but also to your health. I cook with so many spices and often end up filling any empty jar with spices, very few of them match! My jars have their very own box in the corner of my kitchen filled with whole ( I buy in bulk ) and freshly roasted ground spices. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without these little jars.

Tea and spices have a long history of use together. It would seem that spices and tea go well together and it’s great for our health. Spiced tea warms our bodies.

Theme: Spice it up!
This aromatic mixture of dry roasted and ground spices called "shahi garam masala" is used in a large number of dishes that are native to the region of West Bengal in India. Vegetable dishes are finished with a touch of ghee and shahi garam masala. When cooking meat, however, this goes in the marinade itself. This must-have Bengali spice mixture reminds me of home everytime I cook.

A childhood favorite best enjoyed by a crackling fire.

This is my cousin Susan’s tried and tested yummy recipe. Now I’ve found flour I’ve succumbed to the lockdown baking frenzy and am loving it! It’s a lovely moist and nutty cake and the ground cinnamon and cloves give it a spice boost.

When you have collected a large quantity of berries, the only solution is to make many muffins and give them to relatives, neighbors and friends. Happiness must be shared!
