We aren’t the only ones rooting for them. Someone quite familiar with the Union Jack bunting-draped tent, where the contestants compete, shared words of encouragement for the new bakers: Nadiya Hussain, winner of season six (on Netflix as Collection 3). She has a new cookbook coming out on October 11 called “Nadiya’s Everyday Baking” and we’re already fans. When asked about her number one tip for the new bakers entering the tent this season, Nadiya says, “Enjoy every second of it....

this recipe Fall Flavors Nothing says fall to me quite like squash, apples and pumpkin everything. I will save the pumpkin for another day, and focus on squash and apples because they go so nicely together. In this dish, they are the perfect combination of fall flavors. The squash is mild, and the crispy apples are a little tart and sweet. Combine this fall produce with a little cayenne and chicken and you’ve got a dish that is a little spicy, a little sweet, and full of savory goodness....

Try as I might, I’ve never been a very good meal prepper. I know all the benefits of having meals ready so my family doesn’t eat takeout every night, but I just never landed on a routine that worked for our family. At least that was the case until I fell in love with Souper Cubes silicone trays. You may have heard of these trays from Shark Tank fame! These portioned and lidded containers are part of my weekly routine to reduce food waste in our kitchen....

The Mini Supoon from Dreamfarm ($9.50) is an 8-inch silicone spoon (also available in a longer 11-inch length!) that features a flat squeegee tip, a scooping head, and a bend in the handle that props the spoon up so the head doesn’t touch the counter. It is the best spoon for getting every last something out of a jar. I would have wasted cupfuls of peanut butter, jam, and mustard over the years were it not for this genius little scraper....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Pork Ribs recipe If you nibble daintily at a rib, holding it delicately between 2 fingers, and wipe your fingers clean with linen napkins, you and I will probably never be friends. If you grab them with your hands, devour with gusto, get sauce all over your mouth, smearing up towards your cheekbones, then drop the bones sucked dry of every fibre of meat and sauce so they clatter dramatically on your plate, then noisily suck each and every one of your fingers clean of all that sticky barbecue sauce…....

Video: How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms What Is a Peanut Butter Blossom? The peanut butter blossom is a fairly straightforward cookie that has been beloved for decades. It was invented by Freda Smith of Gibsonburg, Ohio for the 1957 Pillsbury Bake-Off. It didn’t win the competition, but it won the hearts of America and has been a national favorite ever since. The ideal version of this treat starts with a thick, soft peanut butter cookie....

Check out all of our healthy air fryer recipes!

The recipe has come a long way since those days, and the latest version is this tender white bean number with double pesto—some goes in the burgers and some goes into a creamy sauce over top. These veggie burgers cook up like a dream. They’re sure to be a winner for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Pesto Is the Sauce of Summer Pesto is my favorite warm weather condiment and I don’t skimp here: you’re going to fold some into your bean mixture and use the remainder (mixed with plain Greek yogurt) to dress your burgers....

For this recipe, I used hard cider and pomegranate juice. Hard cider gives off some of the yeasty, fruity aromas one would expect with prosecco or champagne, while pomegranate juice has that sharp acidity that comes with a citrus juice. However, this unique flavor combo definitely has more apples present, and a deep tartness from the pomegranate. This is the Mimosa you want when you’re craving something sparkling and unique but want to keep it super casual too....

For this recipe, the dumplings have pointy ears on both ends and a round bubble in the middle. With the yellow color of the wonton wrapper, they resemble a tael, the golden nuggets of currency in ancient China. They are a lucky omen to welcome the start of the Lunar New Year. There are so many wonderful combinations for filling dumplings, usually involving a protein and a vegetable. In this recipe, I use ground pork and Chinese chives, an iconic duo with an umami hit from the pork and a mild garlicky flavor from the chives....

Making brown butter is a simple step that adds tons of flavor and helps achieve that signature chewy blondie texture. Once you master the brown butter, everything mixes up easily without a mixer or any special equipment. This recipe makes enough for a crowd, but you could also halve the recipe and bake it in an 8-inch square pan for 25 minutes if you’re ever looking to make less blondies (hey, it could happen)....

The traditional filling of chocolate or cinnamon is swapped for spiced pumpkin butter for a seasonal delight. Plus, leftover babka makes fabulous French toast or bread pudding. What Is Babka? Babka is a sweet, enriched yeast bread that is rolled out and spread with a sweet filling before being twisted into a loaf, baked, and finished with a sweet syrup. Babka originates in Jewish communities of Eastern Europe and is a popular treat in Israeli cuisine....

What Is Red Flannel Hash? Red flannel hash is just corned beef hash with the addition of beets. It’s traditionally made in New England for breakfast, with leftovers from a boiled dinner the night before, and gets its name from the somewhat obvious similarity of its colors to red flannel plaid cloth. Isn’t it gorgeous? So so good too. My new favorite way of eating beets. To make it, cook some onions in a large skillet (I use a cast iron frying pan)....

This is a pasta sauce I came up with when I recently spent a night working the pasta station at Grange restaurant in Sacramento for Chef Michael Tuohy. It is a Spanish-inspired sauce of roasted red peppers, plenty of garlic and a hit of sage – it’s similar to the flavors in my favorite wild game stew, a dish from the Spanish region of Aragon called chilindron. I originally made the sauce to go with pici pasta, a hand-rolled, fat spaghetti-like shape that is a little like a marriage between bucatini and Japanese udon noodles....

A Versatile Dish This frittata is the best because it can pull double duty. You could make it for a brunch or a large breakfast gathering, or you could make it for meal prep on the weekend so you can simply reheat it throughout the week! That’s how we have enjoyed this sweet potato breakfast frittata. We just heat it up in the morning, top it with a little avocado and we are good to go for our morning meal....

So, what is a Sazerac? This classic whiskey cocktail is akin to an Old Fashioned, but with a few distinct differences: It’s made with Peychaud’s bitters instead of Angostura, and it contains a bit of absinthe or Herbsaint (an anise-flavored liqueur). When made properly, it’s a superbly balanced drink and definitely one worth knowing! A Brief History of Sazerac Ingredients In the 1830s, Antoine Peychaud, a New Orleans apothecary, invented what would later become known as the Sazerac....
