Eggplant in coconut mustard curry
Grounding eggplant is the hero of this satisfying curry, a vego dish your meat-eating friends and family will adore. Just remember to set aside an hour for the salt and turmeric-rubbed eggplant to shed excess moisture, then gently fry the potato and eggplant pieces separately in batches. The curry itself combines the fragrance of cumin, mustard and fennel seeds with the kick of ginger and chilli, while a tin of creamy coconut milk rounds out the flavours.

For home chefs looking to wow a crowd, this vegetarian autumn recipe is a sure-fire slam dunk.

The result? A seasonal autumn recipe the whole family will adore.

Roasted eggplant with whipped goats cheese and tomato sugo
The earthiness of roasted eggplant marries beautifully with the goat cheese and tomato sugo in this winning autumn recipe. Halved eggplants are roasted with garlic, thyme and honey until meltingly soft, then topped with whipped goat cheese and a cumin-spiked tomato sauce. A winning side for hearty meat dishes, this recipe works brilliantly as the main event – just add a loaf of warmed sourdough fresh from the oven.

Beetroot and sweet potato fritters
Remember good ol’ meat and onion fritters? This autumn recipe transforms the dated classic, substituting the meat for an abundance of grated beetroot and sweet potato – delish! The addition of green shallots and parsley lend zingy freshness, while finely-chopped walnuts add texture. And with a cooking time of just 10 minutes, these scrummy fritters are perfect for busy weeknights. Just don’t forget the dill yoghurt dressing, best served in an earthenware bowl.

Autumn roast vegetable salad
Brown rice and quinoa are the filling counterpoints to this tasty roast vegetable salad. A medley of seasonal autumn veg – carrot, beetroot and pumpkin in this case – are roasted to perfection using the NEFF CircoRoast and Microwave Combination functions, then tossed with the rice, quinoa and fresh coriander leaves to combine. The final flourish? Two teaspoons of sesame oil, ensuring this seasonal salad is more than just the sum of its parts.

Caramel ice cream sandwiches with peanut popcorn biscuits
Sure, you could serve a cake at your autumn feast. But why not treat your guests to these moreish ice cream sandwiches? Let’s face it, ice-cream will be rare once the colder weather sets in.
Buttery peanut biscuits form the delicious crust, while the rich ice cream uses a tin of sweetened condensed milk caramelised on FullSteam for 2 hours as the base. Roll the assembled ice cream sandwiches in crushed popcorn and watch guests go weak at the knees.
