With Christmas on the way we couldn’t wait to bake these delicious Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Canapes by our good friend (and King of Upside Down Cooking) Dom In The Kitchen. Light and crispy with a beautiful balance of flavours, they make PERFECT festive canapes when you’re chasing something simple yet utterly delicious to feed a crowd. If you want to get ahead you can make and freeze these uncooked on the trays and placed directly in the hot oven from frozen (just add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time).

Bon appetit!

When the evenings turn chilly and you’re craving something comforting, this celeriac, apple and winter veg soup is the perfect pick‑me‑up. Velvety smooth and brimming with seasonal vegetables, it balances earthy depth with a gentle sweetness from the apple.

Finished with a swirl of crème fraîche, a sprinkle of crispy golden breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, crispy bacon and a drizzle of our Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil, they turn this easy winter soup recipe into a satisfying main meal. Add toasted sourdough and you’ll be in soup heaven…

There’s something seriously satisfying about sweet, oven-roasted tomatoes with creamy, salty whipped feta served on crusty sourdough.

We’ve combined all the flavours of falafel in this great salad, but without the faff of making actual falafel! The result is a type of deconstructed dish that’s layered with flavour and beautiful clashing textures that are a joy to eat.

Served on a bed of salad leaves with refreshing pickled red cabbage and onion slaw, a topping of creamy whipped feta finishes things off perfectly. Enjoy as a BBQ side or tasty mid-week meal.
