Sticky Maple Mocha Buns 

Indulge in these sweet, sticky mocha buns, naturally enriched with pure Canadian maple syrup for a warm, autumnal twist. They take a little time, but the soft dough, spiced mocha notes and gentle maple sweetness make them well worth the effort. Enjoy with a hot cuppa on an autumn morning or as a comforting weekend bake. 



Maple Beef Cheek Massaman Curry 

Take Autumn cosiness to new heights with this beef massaman curry that brings rich and aromatic tastes to the table, featuring tender beef cheeks infused with a wealth of spices.   

Simmered to perfection, the beef cheeks are cooked with sautéed onions, potatoes, and a blend of massaman and tamarind paste. The combination of coconut milk, beef stock and peanut butter makes for a thick and hearty curry sauce, while the addition of cinnamon and pure maple syrup lends a touch of sweetness to the dish.   

Perfect for those days where you need a comforting and filling dish to enjoy alone or with the whole family. 



Maple-Roasted Potato Salad with Warrigal Greens and Maple-Caramelised Macadamia Pesto 

Make this delicious sharing side using native ingredients for a crowd-pleasing autumn dish. If you can’t find warrigal greens, leafy greens like kale, spinach, or chard work beautifully in the vibrant pesto. Crispy maple-roasted baby potatoes bring caramelised sweetness, while the pesto blends warrigal greens (or your chosen greens) with roasted macadamias, parmesan, and garlic for a rich, nutty flavour. Tossed together, this side balances sweet, savoury, and earthy notes – perfect for sharing. 



Pumpkin, Chestnut and Maple Soup 

Olive oil and garlic create rich, savoury flavour, while pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch in this warming soup. Enhanced with a touch of maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon, the roasted pumpkin develops a beautiful balance of sweetness and spice. It works equally well as a hearty autumn side dish or a vegetarian main, offering a comforting and flavourful option for cooler-season meals.
