Cosy Autumn Bakes
It’s Baking Weather! - Friday Food Chat with Kath
I spend a large portion of the warmer months looking forward to this time of year.
I find everything is easier when the weather is cooler, especially baking. The list of things I want to bake is longer than I can probably ever get through, but here are a few recipes I have my eye on lately.
Tis the season for quince, and if you are borderline obsessed with them as I am, you’ve probably already poached a few by now. This is the Poached Quince recipe I use, and while I’ve already made three batches, I can’t say for certain I am done with them for this season! I am particularly loving using my poached quince in this Quince Hazelnut Crumble Cake.
I’ve had an (unintentional) moment away from making these Pork Sausage Rolls, but life is better when I have some of them in the freezer so I’m thinking I need to get back to this recipe ASAP.
I shared this Passionfruit Loaf cake recipe last weekend, I’m hoping to bake it again soon since it’s just so tasty and bright. I love using Panama Passionfruit for recipes like these, the flavour is more intense and the pulp freezes well so cake is never far away!
I saw this Muhammara recipe (roasted capsicum dip) on Instagram from Sunday Kitchen, and it is now on my ‘to make’ list.
I am also thinking this Sausage Ragu from Elizabeth Hewson looks like a great addition to any chilly Autumn evening.
I have also been making versions of these chicken pita pockets by Lina Jebeiles (shared on ABC Lifestyle) a lot - I just poach some kitchen, use the quantities of everything else suggested by Lina as a guide, and go a bit rogue with whatever else I use in the wrap (pickled beetroot and onion relish are my recent additions). Also a great way to use up leftover chicken from a roast!

Pistachio Raspberry and Rose Cake
If you are looking for something a bit brighter and less Autumnal, this is the cake for you. You can use frozen raspberries, which makes this cake a winner all year round.
