Samhain dessert recipe: Autumn Quince and Apple dessert with Chestnut, Pecan and rose.

What makes a dessert a dessert? I asked myself this question while I was preparing this recipe.     When I was a kid, a dessert had to have sugar in it. It usually came at the end of a meal and it was something I enjoyed, but not too much.     I’ve always favoured salty flavours while growing up.     Unlike most of my peers, I was that “boring” girl that asked for water in birthday parties…

Halloween 2020 series: Barmbrack. Fruit cake with hidden fortune-telling beans.

Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween).     Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor.      I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
