OF THE
BEST... Things To Do

With a Pumpkin
In all the excitement of Halloween it can be very
easy to buy too many pumpkins. Lauren Sourbutts
suggest some recipes to use up that orange mush.
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
‘Never trust someone who doesn’t love cheesecake’ is a good philosophy to live by, and gives you
even more reason to turn all of your leftover pumpkin into a delicious cheese-based dessert.
PUMPKIN BREAD
Making bread tends to involve a lot of time kneading and waiting around for yeast, but pumpkin
bread is made in a similar way to a cake and requires no effort beyond mixing the ingredients
together and shoving that loaf tin in the oven.
PUMPKIN SOUP
This dish is a firm favourite because of its simplicity and will warm you up well before you go
out dressed as a zombie/pirate/ghost/all of the previous. All you need to do is blend together
your ingredients, heat them up and then eat them. Done. If you fancy something a little more
sophisticated try out Buzz’s Thai pumpkin and coconut soup.
FUDGE
Probably the most difficult recipe here – you need a sugar thermometer for this and not too many
people already own one of them, but get it right and the end result is definitely worth the effort.
ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
After making these dishes you’re going to have a lot of pumpkin seeds left over. You can just cover
them in some sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg then roast for 50 minutes and eat away until you can no
longer stand to look at another pumpkin.
CHAI CAFÉ OPENS IN CARDIFF
Joining what is possibly one of the best foodie roads in
Cardiff is Chaiholics, Cardiff’s first authentic chai café.
Originating in India, masala chai is a black tea infused with
spices and served with plenty of milk, making it perfectly
creamy and sweet. Beyond their offering of a perfect cup
of chai, Chaiholics have a selection of loose leaf teas and
cold drinks, including the increasingly popular cold yoghurt
lassi. LS

BUZZ 34
WITH the autumn days drawing in and maybe
a little more time to cook, think of making
these glorious cheese and chilli beignets,
which combine the inspiration of a ripe brie
with half a ripe chilli. They puff up as you fry
them and reheat beautifully in the oven from
cold, making the perfect luscious starter or
doubled up, a delicious offering to serve at
a drinks party.
