This Cranberry Orange Yogurt Loaf Cake, filled with fresh, juicy cranberries, is easy to make and turns out beautifully. The tartness of fresh cranberries, the fragrance of orange zest and a touch of warm spice come together in this soft, buttery loaf.

There is something rather lovely about a homemade savoury loaf, especially one filled with cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and fresh herbs. It is the kind of bake that works just as well for a relaxed lunch as it does for a picnic, brunch or a table shared with family and friends.

This classic French Plum Tart, or Tarte aux Prunes, is a simple, rustic dessert that lets seasonal fruit take centre stage. The pastry bakes to a buttery golden crust, while the plums soften in the oven, becoming juicy and slightly caramelised around the edges.

When the kitchen starts to smell of cinnamon, nutmeg and baked pumpkin, you know autumn has found its way into the house. This Traditional Pumpkin Pie is a true taste of the season, with a crisp, golden pastry crust filled with a smooth pumpkin custard scented with warm spices.
