Halloween 2024 – Our top tips & recipes

Halloween 2024 is just around the corner, making it the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen! Whether you're cooking delicious meals, baking spooky treats, or decorating your home, we've got the best tips and recipes to make your Halloween unforgettable!

When is Halloween 2024?

Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year, filled with excitement, creativity, and of course, lots of delicious food and treats. For those who love to bake and cook, Halloween is the perfect time to get in the kitchen and create some scary good food and sweets. But when exactly is Halloween 2024? Let’s answer that first.

Halloween will fall on Thursday, October 31, 2024. The holiday has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain, when people believed the line between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. Today, Halloween is celebrated with costumes, home decorations, and fun activities like trick-or-treating. Plan your festivities in advance to make the most of this exciting holiday.

Halloween Recipes - Spooky Dishes

Pumpkin Soup - A Warming Treat

Trick or treat? We're trading candy for a hot pumpkin soup that's both comforting and flavorful. This soup combines mild pumpkin, fresh ginger, and coconut cream for a rich, velvety texture. If you're feeling daring, spice it up with a little extra cayenne pepper for the perfect "trick". Use your blender to achieve a smooth consistency. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds for a delicious crunch.

Pumpkin Pie - A Sweet Finale

Finish your meal with a classic pumpkin pie, infused with the warm flavors of cardamom and maple syrup. This pie is easy to make and can be chilled overnight to allow the flavors to develop. Your stand mixer will make the process effortless, helping you create a perfectly firm crust and a smooth, creamy filling. Don't forget to top with whipped cream sweetened with maple syrup for the finishing touch.
