Bonfire night favourites with a maple twist


Bonfire night is upon us and, while this year’s celebrations may be different than usual, we have some recipes for you to enjoy from the comfort of your home.

With a variety of dishes to choose from, including savoury and sweet, these recipes are a great way to make your bonfire night special.

The star of the evening will definitely be this maple beef casserole made with winter root vegetables. A hearty and wholesome dish, this slow-cooked beef with a dash of sweet maple and seasonal vegetables is the perfect dinner to warm you up on a chilly bonfire night.

If you’re after something lighter, why not try this wonderful pumpkin, chestnut and maple soup? A creamy and warming dish ideal for cosy evenings. Serve with buttery bread and you won’t be disappointed by this ultimate comfort dish.

To drink, this maple and blood orange Campari punch is a guaranteed winner. This cocktail is the perfect winter drink, with the sweetness of maple syrup and contrasting bitterness of the Campari that give this drink a warming roundness. Perfect to enjoy while watching fireworks from the garden.

End the night with this apple, mincemeat and maple strudel that is sure to impress. A deliciously decadent dessert made with rich maple syrup and spiced apple, this is a must try.
