Let this ruby red nonalcoholic beverage heat up the cool weather. Keep it warm in a slow cooker or pack it into a vacuum bottle for autumn walks.
This intensely rich dark chocolate cake is for grown-ups only (but you can find the recipe for our kid-friendly version, Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake, below). We used Cabernet Sauvignon for its balance of deep fruity and black pepper flavours, but you can use whatever type of red you have on hand. A sprinkling of our Candied Sage gives the cake an extra-special finish.
This Sunday roast recipe is a two-day cooking affair and worth the wait every time. A family favourite, Mama Melo's roast beef is typically savoured alongside mashed potatoes, corn and other vegetable sides. It's my idea of comfort food at its finest.
Olive oil and garlic enhance the bright, sweet flavours of cherry tomatoes to serve on slices of crusty market-fresh baguette.
The amount of sugar you like depends on the sourness of the plums. Taste and add more sugar if you wish. Serve with yogurt cheese, ice cream or sweetened mascarpone cheese.
These pickles are just like Grandma used to make and definitely better than store- bought. For the best size and crunch, look for small pickling field cucumbers, often found at farmer's markets or stands or in produce stores.
