Mulled Cider

I first enjoyed this tipple on a cold Canadian evening in the town of Whitehorse in the Yukon in 2013. We were on a trip to hopefully sight the Northern Lights. Some friends of friends who lived in town had picked us up from the airport and entertained us for the evening. Dinner included reindeer, bison and caribou sausages, red eyes (beer and clamato juice) and mulled cider. Every winter since has seen me pull out this recipe with much delight.

Miso Peanut Biscuits

I had to share this recipe if only to try convince people how delicious these are. One taste and you’ll be an immediate convert. Earthy, peanutty perfection.

Quick Yoghurt Flatbreads

Yoghurt for texture and background flavour, miso for salt and umami. These flatbreads can be topped with all manner of tasty delights, served alongside any curry/stew or even sub in as a quick pizza base.

Chicken with Miso Rice

You’ll end up with essentially two different textures by using two different rice. The white will soften and cook right down while the red rice will still be a little nutty.
