Autumn recipes to inspire you

With seasonal produce in mind, plus the cooler weather beckoning you indoors, here are some great recipes for autumn to try.

Teriyaki Chicken Udon Noodle Soup

If you love Japanese food, this is the noodle bowl you need to be making. It’s all about that classic savoury broth, those chewy noodles and the beautifully glazed teriyaki chicken. Yes, it appears simple, but there’s nowhere to hide – each of those elements needs to be spot-on. Lucky for you, I’ve got all the know-how you need.

Chicken Curry Katsu Parmigiana

Chicken parmigiana is delicious at the best of times, but when it crosses paths with curry katsu, the result is all kinds of extra. An unexpected but delightful weeknight dinner to add to your autumn repertoire.

10-minute Creamy Korean Gnocchi

I love creamy gnocchi, but how about trying it with a Korean twist? A packet of store-bought fresh gnocchi, a few other ingredients (including your fave and mine, gochujang) and you have a super quick, extra tasty 10-minute dish that will surprise and delight you with its depth of flavour.

Lamb Biryani

With a fair few steps, lamb biryani may seem like a journey of a recipe, but it’s one you’ll be glad to have embarked on once you taste the end result.

Chinese Broccoli Pesto Pasta

It’s pesto, but not as you know it. Here, the base of this version uses Chinese broccoli instead of the traditional basil, and the result is exceptional. As well as this Chinese broccoli pesto pasta recipe, try it as a dip, spread on toast or as a coating for chicken or fish.

This is so creamy and delicious, cooks in under 30 minutes, and tastes just like it does in a restaurant. Or, let’s face it, even better than.

Sticky BBQ Pork Rice Bowl

Sticky pork belly slices, sweet roasted apple and silky cabbage, nestled on a bed of perfectly steamed rice… this super bowl is full of serious flavour. Even better, it’s a one-pan, traybake recipe, so clean-up is a breeze.

Chicken 65

I hadn’t heard of Chicken 65 before until you guys started requesting a recipe for it! And I’m so glad I did because this fiery dish is so incredibly delicious. Hot and spicy but tangy and crunchy, it’s a symphony of texture and flavour.

Not just for Christmas, Brussel sprouts are at their best come autumn. This side dish is ideal to get more veg on your plate during the week or weekend, and the sweet chilli sauce is a flavour-making addition.

Edamame Haloumi Okonomiyaki Fritters

My take on Japanese okonomiyaki pancakes are packed full of in-season greens and good stuff. And the result is a batch of fritters anyone would be happy to eat, any day of the week. These are also great served in lunchboxes or as a kid-friendlysnack.

Slow-cooker Sticky Chilli Pulled Pork

Autumn recipes to me are all about the slow cooker! Dust yours off and go about your day knowing dinner is taking care of itself (although your oven also does the job equally well).

Bounty Bar Brownies

Cooler weather = more time indoors = time to get your bake on. These rich, velvety chocolate brownies are made all the better with the addition of coconut.

One-pan Satay Chicken Rice

Who doesn’t love a one-pan dish – not only do you make the most of all the cooking flavours, but there’s minimal washing up. That’s my kind of dinner. Hopefully you’ll love this peanutty, gnarly chicken as much as I do.

I’m going out on a limb guys – I reckon this is THE best eggplant dish I know, so give it a whirl this autumn when these vegies are at their peak. It’s just so silky, tender and rich, with a perfect hit of chilli to tie it all together.

Soup season is here. Make the most of cauliflower being in its prime and rustle up a batch of this creamy goodness. Even the kids will love it!

Cheesy Gochujang Hasselback Potatoes

Yep, I just improved a classic. Roast potatoes get a grown-up switcheroo to transform into cheesy, spicy, savoury wonders.

Claypot Chicken Rice

There’s chicken rice… and then there’s CHICKEN RICE. Amp up the epicness with this winner autumn-ready dinner and enjoy next-level flavour.
