Ideas for Halloween and Bonfire Night Food

Who really wants to be traipsing the streets on a cold, dark night knocking on doors or standing outside watching a firework display? Add a freezing wind and some rain for good measure and you have everything you need to make you want to rush home, and tuck into a bowl of chilli or a mug of homemade soup.

Our collection of Delia's Halloween and Bonfire Night recipes also includes warming drinks like Hot Spiced Cider, Mulled Wine, and a non-alcoholic alternative for designated drivers.

MAKE IT QUICK!
A big pan of soup can be warmed up in minutes, and Libyan Soup with Couscous served with homemade Pitta Bread to dunk will get soon have everyone thawing out. French Onion Soup with its topping of croutons and melted cheese will warm the cockles of your heart. If you aren't fed up of pumpkins by now, you could also buy an extra one to make Delia's Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Toasted Sweetcorn. You can find more Hearty Soup Recipes here.

TAKE IT SLOW
A one-pot recipe is always welcome to come home to, and these recipes can all be either made in advance and warmed up again, or made and left in the oven to cook while you are out. Black Bean Chilli with Avocado Salsa takes 3 hours to cook in the oven, leaving you plenty of time to make the salsa and cook some brown rice when you get home. Chicken Basque is literally a meal in a pot so you don't have to cook anything else to go with it and Braised Pork with Prunes has a potato topping so you only need to quickly steam some vegetables to serve.
