Chocolate, Pecan and Orange Cookies (makes 12)

These cookies from Ravneet Gill make great gifts and will keep for up to a week wrapped or in an airtight container.The cookie dough balls freeze really well, too – keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Simply bake from frozen and add an extra one to two minutes to the baking time

Tomato Kasundi

This comes from India and is my go to recipe for tomato chutney. Its very easy to make and can be served with samosas, curries or rice dishes. And sometimes even with your cooked breakfast if wished. It will make 5-6 350 ml jars and is from the excellent ” The Modern Preserver” by Kylee Newton.
