In my Dutch apple pies, I use custard powder to keep the apple juicy and a thin layer of marzipan to stop the bottom from going soggy. #baking 🍽️🍜
Two Dutch apple pies on white plates. Dutch apple pie .... • For the pastry: 300g plain flour 200g butter, cold 100g caster sugar 2 eggs (1 for the pastry mixture, 1 yolk for brushing the top) • salt For the filling: : • • 1 kg cooking apples (Bramleys or similar) 100g mix fruit (sultanas, raisins, orange peel etc) - soak in water, brandy or rum 80g mixed spice (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg etc 20g ginger powder custard powder 50g almond shavings 150g golden marzipan apricot jam (for glazing the pie - any cheap one will • do) Prep: 25 min | Cook: 1 hour 1. Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into dice-sized cubes and mix them in with the flour. Add 1 beaten egg. Knead it with your hands to a consistent, smooth dough. 2. Roll out three-quarters of the dough to cover the bottom and sides of a greased round (24cm) cake tin or spring form tin. Stick the dough covered tin in the fridge for now. Preheat the oven to 175 C. 3. Peel, core and slice the apples. In a clean bowl coat the apple with custard powder. Mix this with almond shavings, mixed spice, ginger and mixed fruit. 4. Take the dough covered tin out of the fridge. Grate enough marzipan onto the bottom of the tin to cover it. Put the apple mixture on top of this. Push it down a bit to avoid gaps. 5. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into long strips, each about 1cm wide. Start with the longest strips and lay the first two in an X in the centre of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Press the ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the pie and trim away any excess dough with a knife. Brush with remaining (beaten) egg. 6. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until pastry is light brown. It's ready when you can stick a knife or stick into it and it comes out clean. Heat a spoonful of apricot jam in a bowl over hot water (au bain marie) until it is really runny. Remove the pie from the oven. Brush the apricot jam onto the top with a pastry brush. Leave to cool down.

Tried the Beetroot Salad with Spiced Yogurt Dressing from @chefvikramvij’s My New Indian Kitchen. Creamy yogurt, bright lemon, cumin, mint, green chilli, sweet beets, pomegranate bursts, and peanut crunch—simple but lively.

Made a pot of Shepard Peppers and Tomatoes Soup with Cumin and Curry Leaves, and it’s giving peak winter comfort. Smoky peppers, warm spices, silky texture — the kind of bowl you lean into.

Tried Moong Dal Cranberry Tikki with Thecha Raita by @meghnasfoodmagic — warm, soft, sesame-crusted tikkis with pops of cranberry, paired with a cool raita packed with roasted garlic, peanuts and green chilli heat. A winter win.

This Brussels Sprouts Slaw with Honeycrisp + Pistachio from @the.rachel.riggs’ In Good Health brought bright crunch to my Thanksgiving table. Sweet apples, crisp sprouts, and a sharp Dijon-shallot dressing kept every plate balanced.

My Creamy Sunchoke Soup turned out like a little winter retreat in a bowl — velvety, earthy, and finished with a peppery olive oil drizzle and pumpkin seed crunch. Recipe card included .

A quiet, comforting kind of delicious.

Winter treat of the week: Gulab Pista Phirni from Dal Chawal by Sapna @be.spiced.
Silky milk-cooked rice, cardamom warmth, soft rose aroma, and pistachios for contrast. Cool, fragrant, and perfectly soothing after a long, cold day.

Made Crispy Kale & Potato Pakoras from @abrowntable The Flavor Equation. Tempura-chickpea batter = loud crunch, potato and kale = soft + earthy, ginger and green chillies = the perfect kick. Amchur on top and cilantro chutney on the side sealed the deal.

Cooked up an Eggplant Masala inspired by @virajnaikrecipes — tender pan fried eggplant simmered in a bright, punchy green masala that has cilantro, green garlic, chillies, and a hint of roasted chickpea flour to thicken. Earthy, bold, and weeknight-friendly

From @sami_tamimi’s Boustany: Cucumber & Feta Yogurt with Dill + Rose. Cool yogurt, salty feta, herbs, lime bits, and toasted almonds for crunch. A floral, citrusy, fresh-herb situation I’ll be making all winter.

A friend cooked from Fusao yesterday and reminded me that my @ixta.belfrage e-book has been hiding. So I opened Mezcla and made Ricotta Dip with Hot Sauce Butter Pine Nuts — creamy, lemony ricotta + smoky hot-sauce butter pine nuts. A dip with attitude.

Chetna Makan’s Cauliflower Masala absolutely delivered tonight. Sizzling fennel + cumin, golden onions, a gingery-chilli kick, tender tomatoes, and that warm spice mix. A spoon of chilli-garlic sauce sealed the deal. Mint on top = perfect finish.

Whipped up Thai Style Naan Pizza from whatever my fridge offered. Creamy-spicy base (sour cream, Thai red curry paste and peanut butter), bell peppers, mushrooms, melty cheese, and a bold hit of sriracha on top. Cozy, fast, and delicious in the best way.

Started Helen @helen_goh_bakes’ new book with an apple cake — had to honour the season. Softened apples cooked in butter + cider vinegar melt into a ginger-lemon scented batter, all topped with a punchy ginger-lemon glaze. Comfort with a spark.

Made the Non-Alcoholic Carajillo from @join_jules today — espresso meets warm vanilla-cinnamon syrup and fresh orange juice, all shaken cold and strained over ice. Bright, cozy, and perfect for easing into the weekend.

Tried Sonia Wong’s (@saltnpepperhere) Dumpling Sauce and instantly understood why people hoard dumplings—it’s all about the sauce. Savoury, umami, spicy, tangy, and just a bit sweet. Dangerously moreish.

Maunika Gowardhan’s Spiced Chickpea Curry (Punjabi Chana Masala) brings serious comfort. Chickpeas simmered in cumin, chili & amchur till saucy perfection. Finished with cilantro + ginger matchsticks. A bowl of bold, tangy bliss.
