HALLOWEEN - FOOD IDEAS

On the night of October the 31st, all the children and gown-up kids that we are will be celebrating Halloween (All Hallow's Eve or Samhain), a typical Anglo-Saxon fall event (USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, New Zealand Australia, but also other non-english speaking countries such as Mexico and Puerto Rico) reminiscent of paganism (see my older post for more info concerning Halloween).

In order for you to explore the darker side of your personality and release the beast in you, and also to experiment with your skills as a cook/baker, I thought that it would be a good idea if I recommended a few recipe links as well as one or two of my festive recipes...

My Halloween Recipes:
Blood Sausage Stir-Fry (see recipe)
Bloody Banana Ketchup (see recipe)

Luscious Pumpkin Jam (see recipe)
Pumpkin Apple Bread (see recipe)
Pumpkin Challah (see recipe)
Pumpkin Latkes (see recipe)
Pumpkin Muffins (see recipe)

Pumpkin Pasta Bake With Speck (see recipe)
Pumpkin Pie (see recipe)
Roasted Pumpkin & Bell pepper Salad (see recipe)

ah halloween! Too bad we in Australia don't celebrate it much!

linda said...

Pretty pumpkins!
Even though we don't celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands, it is starting to get commercially exploited. I think in a couple of years a lot of people will be sort of celebrating it.
