Tahini adds a lovely light nuttiness to banana bread. This Mediterranean wonder is full of antioxidants, B vitamins, magnesium, iron and calcium, so makes a nutrient-dense addition to an old tea-time favourite.

These vegan ginger and turmeric biscuits have a lovely crunch and slightly chewy centre. The warming mix of spices and decadent snap of chocolate and crystallised ginger will take you to a happy place.

Crimson butternut squash is matched with salty fetta and crunchy roasted walnuts in this delicious tart. A favourite for bake sales, serve it warm with a leafy salad of chicory and radicchio and its sure to disappear.

In season heritage carrots give this soup its distinctive garnet colour. You can turn the heat up or down for a warming meal when the cold weather starts to set in.

A festive ode to those long Winter nights, try this boozy hot chocolate after dinner instead of pudding.
