Roast potatoes are a hit at any time of the year but at Christmas they come into their own – gracing everything from canape plates to side dishes and of course, the main event itself.

Whilst they’re easy to master, there are a few tricks that can really elevate your roasties – from par boiling to a pre-bake shake and of course, selecting a good quality oil with a high smoke point. Here, potato afficionado Dom in the Kitchen shares his top three tips for amazing results every time with a little help from our Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil.

This delightful pumpkin-shaped sourdough is a joy to make at any time of the year, but especially around Halloween when pumpkins reign supreme!

It requires a little focus and attention but is achievable by anyone and (with the help of a good starter) will reward you with a light, bubbly loaf. Our Chilli Oil goes into the dough at the end of bulk fermentation, along with a generous helping of cheddar. Of course, all sourdoughs require a good quality salt so we turned to our friends at Cornish Sea Salt to lend a helping hand. We think you’ll agree the result is one worth celebrating!
