Pumpkin Soufflé Pancakes
A tasty, lightly spiced pumpkin soufflé inside a savoury buckwheat galette – what’s not to love! We replace the traditional cheese in a soufflé here with sun dried tomatoes and chilli to give another dimension. These might seem fiddly, but they’re easy to construct and if you can’t be bothered to make the galettes you could always use a gluten free wrap instead! Serve for dinner with a rustic salad….
Spiced Pumpkin Soup
Continuing with our Autumnal, Seasonal recipes, this recipe makes the most of the season’s favourite veg – the pumpkin! We used spaghetti squash for this soup, but you could easily make it with another pumpkin and it will be just as tasty. There’s just the right amount of spice to warm you up but not so much to blow your head off. Keep warm and eat soup – there’s nothing better to do when the weather’s a bit dreary!…
Stuffed Baby Squash
This recipe makes a rich meal for 2. Perfect for an Autumn weekend dinner as it takes a little bit of time (despite being very easy). Serve with pilaf and a green salad as you wish….

Pumpkin Croustade
Helen invented this recipe and it’s definitely a winner! It’s a tasty main dish using butternut squash or pumpkin in a soufflé style filling. You don’t need to be too precise with the amount of purée. You can make this recipe grain free using buckwheat flakes, but if oats don’t bother you, use oats! The soufflé filling can be eaten without the base. Cook in a small oven proof dish and serve as a soufflé – easy!…
Pumpkin Date Nut Loaf Cake
This cake is very healthy as a large proportion of it is made with pumpkin. We love this with a wee cup of coffee in the morning. It retains its moist texture for a few days (if it lasts that long) and is very melty. …
