Scary Meringue Ghosts

Ghoulish ghosts are a must at Halloween, and these meringues are the perfect way to spook up your party. Adorable and easy to make, they’ll become a Halloween staple. To make them, you’ll need:

• 500g caster sugar
• 250g egg whites
• ¼ tsp pumpkin spice mix (or regular mixed spice mix)
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• Edible black ink

Heat your Neff oven to 200C/180C fan. Prepare a tray with baking parchment and add the sugar, shaking it out so that it’s level. Heat for 5 minutes until it’s hot and bubbling. Beat the cream of tartar with the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Reduce the oven temperature to 110C/90C fan. Start adding the sugar to the mix until you have a stiff and glossy mixture. Add the spice flavouring and gently fold it in. Use a piping bag to squeeze the mixture onto the baking tray, releasing pressure as you pipe it to form ghost-like peaks. Bake for 40-50 minutes and add big ghost-like eyes with your edible ink. All done! Eerie, but enticing.

Tasty and terrifying Mummy Biscuits

Here’s a super simple idea that has plenty of spookiness! These mummy biscuits are delicious and easy to do, making a great addition to your trick or treat snacks. Start by baking a simple, round vanilla biscuit and cover in white icing. Wait for the first layer to dry before using a piping bag with a thin nozzle to add horizontal, white stripes to the biscuits – the more uneven, the better! These should look like your mummies’ bandages. Pop two little eyes on (use tiny white marshmallows and black edible ink to DIY your own), and your biscuits are ready to serve.

Easy Peasy Spider Decorations

If you’re looking for an easy way to add some Halloween creepiness to your cakes, cookies, and biscuits, we have a great idea. Use your Quooker tap to fill a bowl with boiling water, and add another bowl on top with milk or dark chocolate. Melt the chocolate using the heat from the water and spoon into a piping bag. On top of your sweet treats, pipe a circle of chocolate with four little spider legs on each side. It’s so simple to do but looks great, especially with lots of tiny spiders! Just remember to use boiling water from your Quooker taps for super quick melting.

Our kitchen designers know the capabilities of Neff and Quooker products inside out, and we often incorporate them into our exquisitely crafted designer kitchens. For a great real-world example, take a look at this case study of our contemporary kitchen with a country feel, where both Quooker and Neff have their spot in the limelight.

1. Baking Encourages Creativity In The Kitchen

Baking is a skill that’s well known as being easy to pick up, but very hard to master. This makes it perfect for anyone, from the culinary expert to the aspiring hobbyist chef. If you’re a member of the first group, you can use your kitchen to its fullest potential, taking advantage of its layout, storage and appliances to whip up some mouth-watering baked goods. Meanwhile, if you’re just starting out, you can familiarise yourself with your kitchen as you go along, working your way up the recipe book to the most complex of cakes!

Baking is also a great outlet for creativity. Lots of our customers are creative people, as you can tell from a quick glance through our case studies. This recent ultra-modern design is the work of our own kitchen designer Maxine being guided by our customers’ creative input, resulting in a truly original design. With an open mind and confidence in the kitchen, there’s no end to what you might be able to create!

2. Baking Helps Bonding In The Kitchen

If you learned to cook from an early age, it’s likely that baking was your first foray into the kitchen. Children love baking with their parents because of the appeal in pretty colours in the icing, the safety of the methods, and the sweetness of the final results. Not to mention, of course, the cheeky taste of chocolate here and there when baking! Activities like baking give parents peace of mind in terms of safety, and children plenty of opportunity to explore the world of cooking, turning the kitchen into a marvellous place for family bonding.

3. Baking Brings Us Together!

All mealtimes are social occasions, but baking is especially so. We’ve just mentioned above how the act of baking itself is a valuable chance for some bonding, and that applies to enjoying the final results, too! There’s a reason that cakes and pastries are so often used for bake sales and community events – they’re fantastic sharing foods, which makes them amazing for family mealtimes at home. After all, mealtimes at home are inherently social events, where family members congregate in the kitchen to bond, enjoy shared family values and tell stories of their day. And with some beautiful baking, you can squeeze one or two more of those get-together events every once in a while – and with some wonderful cake and biscuits, too! It’s just one more reason why baking is perfect to help you make the most of your kitchen; the very heart of your home.

Here at Kitchen Design Centre, lots of our talented designers are keen cooks too, which means we understand your passion for wonderful food! We firmly believe that your dream kitchen should reflect your personality, moulding itself to your favourite ways of cooking and living. Pop into any one of our designer kitchen showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn or Colne, where any one of our designers will be only too happy to sit down with you and discuss your plans!

With the temperatures continuing to rise, there’s an abundance of scrumptious food to eat in April. However, seasonal foods at this time of the year tend to peak rather quickly – so if you want to make the most of them it’s best to head to your supermarket and purchase them right now!

Our top picks

In April, we recommend you get your hands on the following ingredients:

Asparagus

Asparagus tastes its best in spring and is a particularly yummy addition to many spring dishes. It works well with pasta, in salads, or as a side for many fish dishes. Season with lemon and mint for the ultimate veggie taste sensation.

Rhubarb

Ditch the apples and pears for something more seasonal with a delicious rhubarb dessert. Whether you stick to a classic rhubarb pie or opt for something lighter, such as a cheesecake or pavlova, is completely up to you!

Prawns

Prawns are a great addition to any meal and come with a multitude of benefits. They’re high in protein, low in fat, and contain lots of essential vitamins, like B12, B3 and Zinc. Marinate, grill, sauté, or batter them for a delicious side snack or addition to a meal. Alternatively, you can add them to quiches, omelettes, or pizzas for a bit of variety!

Lamb

British lamb remains in season in April and tastes great when roasted with garlic and herbs. The result offers more of a Mediterranean flavour too – perfect for the early spring months. Opt for roast leg of lamb with veggies or serve up oven baked lamb chops with a delicious, seasonal sauce. Indian or Moroccan spiced lamb is also another great idea and is best served on skewers.

Be inspired by our April menu favourites

Make the most of all your seasonal favourites with these Neff recipes that are perfect for April…

Finger food: Our Lamb Koftas with Aubergine Dip

Ideal for snacking on or for spring gatherings with friends, these lamb koftas are sure to go down well. Get inspired for summer with this Moroccan favourite, which takes just 15 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook in your Circo Therm oven.

A cheeky main: Prawn and Fresh Pesto Pizza

Chef up something that both you and the kids will enjoy with this delicious, posh pizza! With veggies, olive oil, prawns, and garlic, the final masterpiece is pretty healthy too. Once you’ve designed your pizza, pop it in on the Circo Therm Intensive setting for 40-45 minutes.

For dessert: Rhubarb Pavlova

Swap the pastry and crumbles for something light and fluffy with a yummy rhubarb pavlova. Featuring all your fruity favourites, it’s guaranteed to taste good – but remember to give yourself plenty of time to prepare it as it take two hours to cook in your Neff Circo Therm and Steam Oven.

March shows the first signs of spring and promises a new gathering of vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood. While you’ll find lots available on your supermarket shelves, keep a look out for the best seasonal ingredients for a dish that looks and tastes great.

Our top picks 

In March, we recommend you get your hands on the following ingredients:

Spring greens

Spring greens are the first cabbages of the year and are tasty and healthy. A great side, they go well with all your meats and other veggies. They can be distinguished them from other cabbages because of their fresh, loose heads. They also don’t have the hard heart found in other cabbages.

Purple sprouting broccoli

Rich in a number of nutrients, broccoli is a staple in most homes, but did you know that seasonal broccoli brings with it even more benefits? Purple sprouting broccoli is your best choice for March and is leafier and deeper in colour than your typical broccoli, with extra crunch.

Spring Lamb

Spring lamb offers the benefit of being very tender – making it ideal for one-pot meals. Although doesn’t have as much flavour as lamb later in the year, since it hasn’t had as much time to graze, it can still be combined with a range of other seasonal foods for a delicious tasting and textured dish.

Mussels

Mussels are great choices for your fish stew and also have the added benefit of being very cheap. Despite their cost, they make great additions in any ‘posh’ menu, or in special occasion meals.

Grapefruit

We love all our zesty fruits, especially the grapefruit – which is also said to be good for the waistline! Grapefruits tend to be juicier and sweeter during the spring and winter months and make a great addition to your morning breakfast or a delicious zesty cake.

Be inspired by our March menu favourites

The Bake It Yourself team has come up with whole range of sumptuous recipes, perfect for early spring. Some of our favourites include:

A succulent lamb main: One-Pan Lamb Cutlets & Sweet Potatoes

Switch the Sunday roast for this delicious dish, featuring the seasonal favourite of lamb. We particularly love the Mediterranean-feel of this one-pot meal – getting us in the mood for sunnier days. Cook in your CircoRoasting oven at 170 for 40 minutes for one-pot perfection.

A delicious fish dish: Normandy Fish Stew

If you’re a fan of more adventurous cuisine and seafood dishes, you’ll love this fish stew. It combines seasonal mussels with white fish, prawns, and a whole lot of tasty extras for something quite spectacular! Cook on the Bottom Heat setting at 180 for about 25 minutes in total.

A zesty desert: Clementine and Almond Cake

Zesty fruits taste great in March – and almonds are popular too. This cake combines the two with other delicious flavours for a treat that’s perfect for pudding. The cake can be cooked in the CircoTherm at 180 and takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to bake.

As we embrace the last of the cold temperatures it’s a good idea to stock up on hearty foods that are full of flavour. Although filling and satisfying, most of our favourite February foods are healthy too – keeping you feel full while still sitting perfectly alongside your 2016 diet.

Go for root vegetables

Root vegetables are a great option at this time of the year. Potatoes, celeriac, swede and turnips all taste great and add bulk to your dishes. Horseradish, chicory, shallots and black truffles also start to come into season making for some interesting vegetarian options too.

Add a touch of summer with zesty fruits

Kiwi fruit, passion fruit, clementines and pomegranate are just some of the February fruits you might like to experiment with. If you prefer the more traditional staples, why not opt for pears and bananas, which taste great the majority of the year.

Opt for light fish dishes…. 

From langoustine, oysters and scallops through to skate, lemon sole and mackerel, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to seasonal fish.

…or indulge in a bit of game

If you prefer a meat main why not opt for game? Guinea fowl, hare, mallard, partridge and venison are all highly desirable at this time of year. 

Be inspired by our February menu favourites

January is the perfect time to get experimental in the kitchen. We’ve all got our New Year’s Resolutions to eat better, eat organic, or eat fresh, and many of us also like to get creative with new recipes for the year too. To give you a helping hand, we’re sharing our top January recipes and the foods in season right now – helping you to dish up a delectable January feast!

Top food picks for January

As the winter months continue, root vegetables take centre stage providing the perfect base for hearty, rustic foods such as soups and stews. Furthermore, with all the over indulgence that the festive period brings, a few extra vegetables might just be in order. Some of our seasonal favourites include beetroot, cauliflower, celeriac, celery, kale, and mushrooms.

It’s not just the veggies we’ll be stocking up on though; it’s also a good idea to increase your fruit intake in the winter months for that immunity boost. In January a few slightly more exotic fruits start to come into season – including pineapple, pomegranate and passion fruit. These are perfect for puddings and fruit salads. However, more traditional favourites include apples, clementines, lemons, oranges and pears.

While it’s tempting to fill up on comforting carbs in the winter months, you shouldn’t forget about that all-important protein. There are a fabulous range of meat, game, and seafood choices in January, the best being duck, goose, grouse, guinea fowl, turkey, langoustine, lobster and oysters. White fish also tastes fantastic at this time of the year, along with oily mackerel, mussels and cockles.

November – the time of the year when we begin to get a little indulgent with our meal choices. Succulent meats, flavoursome fruits and veggies and oven-baked fish are just a few of things you’ll be popping onto your menus, as well as those all-important rich desserts. But what ingredients really taste best at this time of the year? That’s exactly what we’ll be finding out in today’s blog…

When it comes to your fruits and veggies you’ll be wanting to pick ones that are full of flavour and relatively dense. Pumpkin is a November favourite and extremely versatile, along with other root vegetables like celeriac, sweet potato and butternut squash. Other fabulous veggies include turnips, artichoke and kale, while chestnuts, apples, clementines and cranberries are some of the season’s best fruits.

Protein sources are equally delicious in November, with venison, lamb, pork and guinea fowl being some of the most popular. While venison is a great option for the more health conscious foodie, lamb provides that rich, indulgent flavour and texture – it’s certainly worth the calories!

If you prefer a fish dish, why not opt for mussels or crab? Oven-baked mussels, cooked on the half shelf and drizzled with olive oil and herbs makes the perfect main.
