1. Pumpkin Soup with Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 medium pumpkin, diced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 can coconut milk (400 ml)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: spices such as ginger or curry powder

Preparation:

Start by peeling the pumpkin and cutting it into charming 2cm cubes. Roughly chop the onion and garlic and finely grate the ginger for an explosion of flavour.

Heat some oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and let the onion and pumpkin caramelize gently. This will take about 8 minutes. Then add the garlic and ginger for extra depth of flavour. Let the spices, such as turmeric, cinnamon and chilli flakes, work their magic in the pan.

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock and let the soup simmer gently. After 20 minutes the pumpkin is perfectly cooked. Puree the soup to a velvety consistency and refine the taste with a touch of lemon juice.

For the finishing touch, fry the sage leaves in olive oil until crispy and whisk the coconut milk until frothy. Serve this sumptuous soup in deep bowls, garnished with the coconut foam and crispy sage leaves for a luxurious dining experience.

This soup is a perfect balance of sweet pumpkin and creamy coconut milk. Feel free to adjust the spices to make it your own.

2. Apple-Cinnamon Compote

Ingredients:

• Sweet apples, peeled and diced
