Sweet Potato and Lentil Dahl
Dahl is something we have every couple of weeks , I find it a strangely soothing dish. Here the addition of some sweet potato makes it a filling meal with some pitta bread or chappati. I leave the seeds whole since I like the crunch but you could definitely grind the coriander.

Faux Pho
With its strong cinnamon and ginger flavors lending complexity to the beef broth, and the ability to add as much spicy heat from the raw serrano peppers as you’d like, it makes for an excellent Winter warmer, when you just can’t face another bowl of corn chowder from the freezer.

To poach a pear
As poached pear recipes go, this one could be called plain: just pears, water, brown sugar (or golden caster sugar, if you have it), a vanilla bean, and lemon juice. But what I like about it is that you wind up with a poached pear that tastes intensely of pear. The end.

Brussels Sprouts and Grapes: A Counterintuitive Holiday Recipe
Brussels sprouts and grapes? the host repeated, incredulous.
Yes, I said. It’s sweet and savory; the grapes release their delicious sugars as they cook, which in turn caramelize the sprouts. You can eat it hot, cold, or at room temperature. You can add anything to it, within reason: toasted walnuts, pine nuts, spicy pepitas, lardons, whole garlic cloves, fresh thyme or rosemary, sea salt. Or nothing at all, which is generally how I like it.

Apple Pork Ribs Soup 苹果猪骨汤
The flavour of this soup really depends on what type or how big the apples are. The original recipe calls for 4 apples but I used 3 instead as the apples I used were quite large and I was afraid that the soup would be too sweet. So remember to adjust accordingly to your taste.

How to make mulled cider
The basic idea of making any mulled drink is to warm the liquor gently with spices. Which spices to use is up to you – nutmeg, star anise and vanilla can be used, though we're going to stick with tradition and use just cloves and cinnamon. Sugar or honey can be added to taste but because of the unusual addition of the very sweet sloe gin in this recipe, you probably won't need it.

If you like ginger, I'm quite sure you will love this but if not, then this dish may not be your cup of tea to be honest.
