Get creative in the kitchen this Halloween with these spooky cupcakes! Light, fluffy vanilla sponge cakes are topped with creamy buttercream and fondant icing, ready to decorate with ghosts, bats and other Halloween-inspired designs. A fun, easy baking project for all the family, especially little helpers!
Warm up this Halloween with a comforting, velvety soup made with roasted pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potato, spiced with cumin and paprika. Finished with a swirl of cream, fresh coriander, crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds and spooky sourdough croutons, it’s the perfect seasonal treat for chilly autumn days.
This is a dish for which you can get everything ready in advance, leaving just the charring of the octopus on the barbecue until the last minute – a real show stopper. Freezing the octopus will help tenderise the flesh, but be sure that it is completely thawed before cooking.
