There are only treats on the menu with ckbk at your fingertips. If you are getting ready to celebrate Halloween, we’ve got all the recipes you could need for spooky sweets and party fuel, to hit the kitchen with confidence. So, don that costume, and prepare to enjoy a night of all things ghostly and ghastly.

|
But of course, party guests cannot live on sweets alone – no matter how much they might want to. A bowl of Pumpkin and Corn Chowder will warm everyone up if the jack-o’-lantern-lit streets are chilly. And if you are serving a crowd, Japanese Pumpkin Nimono is a supercharged seasonal side dish.
For the adults in the house, get the party started with a dark and delicious Negroni Cativo.

Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, runs this year from October 31 to November 3. And millions of houses and outdoor gatherings will be bedecked with the customary lamps and lanterns, symbolizing the triumph of light over dark, of good over evil. And of course, there will be feasting.

Not one, but two cookbooks of the month
|
|
|
We have a double treat with our cookbooks of the month for November. If you’ve not joined in before, here is the heads-up – we have Facebook group called #ckbkclub, a place to chat about what you’ve made from the cookbooks on ckbk, or ask for help in the Kitchen SOS chat. Each month we choose a cookbook for the group to focus on, encouraging members to cook from it, chat about it, and share any photos, tips or questions they have about the recipes.

For November there will be plenty of spoon-licking, as we get cooking with Zingerman’s Bakehouse. Opened in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1992 this pioneering artisan bread bakery soon diversified into pastry and cakes. In 2006 they opened their cookery school Bake!. As a business built on quality and community, they have experience bringing a wonderful range of baked goods and baking knowledge to their fans.

Ingredient focus: pumpkin pie spice
|
|
|
Pumpkin pie spice, that blend of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger and nutmeg, is such an evocative and comforting combination that its popularity now extends far beyond an actual Pumpkin Pie.
