A soft, fragrant autumn loaf with brown butter, maple, toasted walnuts and a buttery cinnamon crumble. Makes two loaves: one for you and one for a friend.

Roasted tomatoes, smoked paprika and a splash of brandy, with a three-cheese grilled cheese on rye for dipping. The lunch that asks very little of you.

Tender spiced apples in homemade salted caramel under a blanket of buttery, golden crumbs. A Liverpool childhood favourite, made a little more indulgent.
