Inspiring ways to combine recipes from this issue
There’s something magical about the dark nights that stretch out before us. They’re a calling card for comfort food, a scene-setter for trick-or-treaters (cue Little monsters, p56, for outfit ideas, and p54 for fruity treats), and an inky backdrop for name-writing with sparklers. Our Bonfire Night recipes (p65) are destined to be devoured in the glow of a fire. I’m a firm believer in the saying ‘there’s no place like home’ and our October issue is testament to that. Make film night into an event with our naughty snacks made to be eaten on the sofa (p90) – pass the tortilla chips, please. Friends will be knocking at your door at the mention of curry (p83) – watch their faces when your bring homemade naans to the table (just don’t let on how easy they are to make). Of course, a brisk walk always makes the promise of a feast all the more exciting, so turn to p119 for ways to up your step-count and kick up those autumn leaves. And when you get a moment and the house is quiet, light some candles and sink into a bubble bath to suit your mood (p123).
