I can’t believe another month has gone by! I don’t know where this year has gone. I haven’t posted this month at all so I will be doing an update post very soon! I promise!

For now here is my Food Exchange post for October. This month mine and Greta’s theme was Autumn!

Greta’s challenge for me this month was Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart). I have seen this popping up in all of the bakeries around here recently, so when Greta sent me the recipe I was very excited!

This was the first time I had made a yeasted dough for a bake like this. Normally I would just use a shortcrust pastry. However the end result was really nice. The filling is a mixture of onions and bacon pieces combined with eggs and a little bit of cream. The thing that really stood out for me was the amazing smell coming from the oven while it was cooking!

This is definitely a brilliant autumn dish, it is warming, rich and comforting. We ended up eating this for dinner with roasted potatoes and vegetables! It reminded me quite a bit of one of my favourite French winter meals Tartiflette!

If you want something that is a fairly straight forward bake but is really tasty I would definitely give this one a go!

I ended up having a bit of an autumn baking afternoon and made roasted sweet potato and coconut soup, soft bread rolls and little meringue ghosts! It was a lot of fun being back in my little kitchen after being away from it for so long!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
