With Christmas on the way we couldn’t wait to bake these delicious Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Canapes by our good friend (and King of Upside Down Cooking) Dom In The Kitchen. Light and crispy with a beautiful balance of flavours, they make PERFECT festive canapes when you’re chasing something simple yet utterly delicious to feed a crowd. If you want to get ahead you can make and freeze these uncooked on the trays and placed directly in the hot oven from frozen (just add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time).

Bon appetit!

When the evenings turn chilly and you’re craving something comforting, this celeriac, apple and winter veg soup is the perfect pick‑me‑up. Velvety smooth and brimming with seasonal vegetables, it balances earthy depth with a gentle sweetness from the apple.

The toppings are arguably the real hero here though. Finished with a swirl of crème fraîche, a sprinkle of crispy golden breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, crispy bacon and a drizzle of our Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil, they turn this easy winter soup recipe into a satisfying main meal. Add toasted sourdough and you’ll be in soup heaven…

When our friend Dom In The Kitchen announced he was publishing his book: Upside Down Cooking, our first question was, what shall we cook?! After much deliberation, we settled on this French Onion Soup Tarte Tatin. Not only is it a perfect example of the simplicity and flavour that can be achieved with Dom’s upside-down cooking method, it also paired perfectly with our new Blackberry Vinaigrette.

The gloriously golden shallots with nutty gruyere and golden puff pastry are an absolute treat and one we think you’ll want to repeat time and time again. So delicious!

Note: You’ll need a 25cm heavy-based oven-proof frying pan.

This simple salad by Jenny at The Salty Chilli is a true celebration of summer. Packed with seasonal asparagus, radishes and new potatoes, and drizzled in our Mellow Yellow Honey & Mustard Dressing, it’s a fresh, punchy and flavour-packed meal that’s perfect to enjoy outside in the garden.

There’s something seriously satisfying about sweet, oven-roasted tomatoes with creamy, salty whipped feta served on crusty sourdough. It’s a texture hit, but also offers some incredibly bold flavours with just 8 ingredients! Our special edition Blackberry Vinaigrette is the hero here – ramping up the flavour of both the tomatoes and the whipped feta. The perfect dish for a brunch or light lunch.
