I get excited at the start of every winter, because I can make soup again! This is one I always look forward to making again. The coconut flavour works so well with the sweet potato.

cherry chocolate cake
STOP! Stop what you are doing, turn on the oven, and bake this cake. It is delicious! It has a biscuit like base and cherry centre, and is just more-ish. I have to admit it is quite a bit of effort to make…but well worth it. I found the recipe in delicious (care of Maggie Beer) – although tweaked it a little so I could use real dark chocolate instead of cocoa. I made this for the first time on the weekend, and will be making it again this weekend… if I can wait that long!

cheat’s roast pumpkin wonton ravioli w/ chorizo & thyme
I found the idea for cheat’s ravioli in Valli Little’s recipe book ‘Faking It – How to Cook Delicious Food without Really Trying’. Wonton ravioli is a happy meduim – a great alternative to making pasta from scratch if you are time poor, and beats store bought ravioli hands down.
