Autumn recipes to get you in the Fall spirit

Autumn recipes to get you in the Fall spirit

Seasonal ingredients. Comforting vibes. Fistfuls of flavour. Let's do this, Autumn.

The seasons have ticked over, and with the change in weather comes a change in our appetites. Once autumn arrives (Fall has officially landed here in Australia), it’s out with the summer salads and in with the soul-warming fare. While pasta recipes are always de rigeur, I’ve got the best autumn recipes to get you excited about the cooler months ahead. Full of comforting vibes and seasonal produce, these autumn food ideas will get you looking forward to cosy nights in, trust me.

What’s in season in autumn

Produce is rich and rewarding at this time of year. Creamy pumpkins and eggplants are at their best early in the season, as are mushrooms, zucchinis and broccoli. As for what fruit is in season in autumn, enjoy a bountiful harvest of apples, bananas, plums and nashi pears, to name a few.

As the months get cooler, reach for the cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, leeks, sweet potatoes, cabbage and more. There’s so much to enjoy, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Autumn recipes to inspire you

With seasonal produce in mind, plus the cooler weather beckoning you indoors, here are some great recipes for autumn to try.

Teriyaki Chicken Udon Noodle Soup

If you love Japanese food, this is the noodle bowl you need to be making. It’s all about that classic savoury broth, those chewy noodles and the beautifully glazed teriyaki chicken. Yes, it appears simple, but there’s nowhere to hide – each of those elements needs to be spot-on. Lucky for you, I’ve got all the know-how you need.

Chicken Curry Katsu Parmigiana

Chicken parmigiana is delicious at the best of times, but when it crosses paths with curry katsu, the result is all kinds of extra. An unexpected but delightful weeknight dinner to add to your autumn repertoire.

10-Minute Creamy Korean Gnocchi

I love creamy gnocchi, but how about trying it with a Korean twist? A packet of store-bought fresh gnocchi, a few other ingredients (including your fave and mine, gochujang) and you have a super quick, extra tasty 10-minute dish that will surprise and delight you with its depth of flavour.

Lamb Biryani

With a fair few steps, lamb biryani may seem like a journey of a recipe, but it’s one you’ll be glad to have embarked on once you taste the end result.

Chinese Broccoli Pesto Pasta

It’s pesto, but not as you know it. Here, the base of this version uses Chinese broccoli instead of the traditional basil, and the result is exceptional. As well as this Chinese broccoli pesto pasta recipe, try it as a dip, spread on toast or as a coating for chicken or fish.

Cheesy French Onion Ramen Noodle Soup

Love comfort food but can’t decide what to make? This mash-up is the comforting collab of dreams: French onion ramen noodle soup.

Cheat’s One-Pot Lasagne

Make clean-up a breeze with this easy cheat’s one-pot lasagne recipe that requires no oven time. Cook in the pan, then serve straight at the table – how’s that for simple?

Slow-cooker Chicken Laksa Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup gets a laksa glow-up with this warming, spicy slow cooker recipe. With its tender shredded chicken, slurpy noodles and creamy curry broth, it’s a rich-tasting treat. And did I mention… there’s dumplings, too!

Classic Butter Chicken

This is so creamy and delicious, cooks in under 30 minutes, and tastes just like it does in a restaurant. Or, let’s face it, even better than.

Sticky BBQ Pork Rice Bowl

Sticky pork belly slices, sweet roasted apple and silky cabbage, nestled on a bed of perfectly steamed rice… this super bowl is full of serious flavour. Even better, it’s a one-pan, traybake recipe, so clean-up is a breeze.

Chicken 65

I hadn’t heard of Chicken 65 before until you guys started requesting a recipe for it! And I’m so glad I did because this fiery dish is so incredibly delicious. Hot and spicy but tangy and crunchy, it’s a symphony of texture and flavour.

Teriyaki Salmon Skewers

Make the most of autumn’s in-season leeks with this quick and easy teriyaki recipe.

Sweet Chili Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Not just for Christmas, Brussel sprouts are at their best come autumn. This side dish is ideal to get more veg on your plate during the week or weekend, and the sweet chilli sauce is a flavour-making addition.

Weeknight Creamy Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

It tastes like it’s been simmered for hours, but this mild curry is done in a fraction of the time. Fuss-free, minimal faffing around and full-on flavours make it perfect for a weeknight dinner this autumn.

Five Spice, Apple & Ginger Crumble

Make the most of apple season and make an autumnal dessert to bring on the warm and fuzzies.

Edamame Haloumi Okonomiyaki Fritters

My take on Japanese okonomiyaki pancakes are packed full of in-season greens and good stuff. And the result is a batch of fritters anyone would be happy to eat, any day of the week. These are also great served in lunchboxes or as a kid-friendly snack.

Slow-cooker Sticky Chilli Pulled Pork

Autumn recipes to me are all about the slow cooker! Dust yours off and go about your day knowing dinner is taking care of itself (although your oven also does the job equally well).

Bounty Bar Brownies

Cooler weather = more time indoors = time to get your bake on. These rich, velvety chocolate brownies are made all the better with the addition of coconut.

One-pan Satay Chicken Rice

Who doesn’t love a one-pan dish – not only do you make the most of all the cooking flavours, but there’s minimal washing up. That’s my kind of dinner. Hopefully you’ll love this peanutty, gnarly chicken as much as I do.

Spicy Miso Braised Eggplant

I’m going out on a limb guys – I reckon this is THE best eggplant dish I know, so give it a whirl this autumn when these vegies are at their peak. It’s just so silky, tender and rich, with a perfect hit of chilli to tie it all together.

Chicken, Cauliflower & Sweetcorn Soup

Soup season is here. Make the most of cauliflower being in its prime and rustle up a batch of this creamy goodness. Even the kids will love it!

Cheesy Gochujang Hasselback Potatoes

Yep, I just improved a classic. Roast potatoes get a grown-up switcheroo to transform into cheesy, spicy, savoury wonders.

Claypot Chicken Rice

There’s chicken rice… and then there’s CHICKEN RICE. Amp up the epicness with this winner autumn-ready dinner and enjoy next-level flavour.

Creamy Miso Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin: the king of autumn ingredients.

Chicken & Chilli Jam Traybake

Chicken. Rice. A killer sauce. You guys, it doesn’t get much simpler than this. Make your next weeknight dinner a breeze with this one-pan, easy tray bake. A most ideal autumn recipe!

Basil, Beef & Eggplant Stir-fry

This is the meal you can cook when you don’t have time to cook. Delicious beef, chunks of eggplant (it’s in season), chilli and fragrant Thai basil come together to make a quick and easy midweek meal that you’ll want to make again and again.

4-ingredient Korean Pork Ribs

Low and slow is the order of the day with this easy pork ribs recipe. You only need four ingredients to make these, then just pop them in the oven for 2 hours to bake. The result is amazing – spicy, fall-off-the-bone meat that everyone will want to dig in to.

Indian-spiced Chicken & Cauliflower Traybake

This fuss-free tray bake is a vibrant celebration of Indian spices and seasonal produce, plus it’s low carb and keto-friendly, too.

Don’t forget you can now leave your reviews on each recipe here on the site, so don’t forget to share what you think. I can’t wait to see what your favourites are…

The best Indian recipes we know how to make

Vibrant, flavour-packed and smile-inducing Indian recipes you'll want on repeat.

It’s been a long week. Your boss has sent your eye twitch into overdrive, your stomach is empty and your appetite is making itself well and truly known. Make dinner… or takeout? These best Indian recipes from Marion Grasby’s cooking archive will let you enjoy the best of both worlds. Yep, we’ve got your Friday night Indian takeaway cravings sorted with this collection of restaurant-style classics, from curries and appetisers to sides and more.

Alter the spice levels, change up the ingredients – these homemade dishes are going to be SO much better than takeout. Guaranteed.

Palak Paneer

This vegetarian curry is all the things – creamy, cheesy and SO good. This spinach and cheese classic is a must-try when you’re making your Indian feast at home. Even the paneer is made from scratch. An Indian recipe that’s set to impress!

Vegetable Pakoras with Green Chutney

The best way to eat your vegetables (and love them). These lightly spiced, crispy vegetable pakoras are the ultimate way to get rid of all your nearly limp, bottom-of-the-crisper veggies. Dunk them in the herby green chutney for the ultimate bite.

Classic Butter Chicken

A restaurant classic that we think typically disappoints when made at home BUT this homemade version does it right. And it’s one of our best Indian recipes according to you guys, so we must be doing something right! Think: chargrilled chicken, a rich, creamy tang from Greek yoghurt, and a smoky, tomatoey base. So creamy, so good and done in 30 minutes – that’s faster than delivery!

Aloo Keema & Cumin Rice

If you’ve got mince and potatoes, you’ve got dinner. This aloo keema and cumin rice is full of flavour. Loads of Indian spices, tender creamy potatoes and fragrant rice all add to this ultra easy, flavour-packed dish. Super simple, but without any sacrifice on taste – perfect!

Mumbai Street Toastie

Mashed potato in a toasted sandwich? Heck yeah. There’s spice in there too, plus curry leaves, vegetables, a perky green chutney and even melty cheese. Based on Mumbai’s most famous street snack, this is one hefty sambo. In our house, we call this ‘dinner’.

Rice-cooker Beef Korma Curry

One of our best Indian recipes, this one is layered with flavour and spices. Yep, if you love curry, then this Indian recipe boasts tender, fall-apart beef and a savoury gravy sauce. It really has to be tried to be believed. And it’s all conveniently made in a rice cooker! Bulk it out by serving it with a side of naan bread or steamed rice.

Bombay Sweet Potatoes

A side dish that deserves main meal status. Indian-spiced Bombay sweet potatoes – for when you really, really want a plate of taters for dinner but your better judgement stops you. These are hearty, delicious and PACKED with flavour. Feel-good veggies that you’ll crave again and again.

Indian-spiced Chicken Traybake

We love it when dinner comes together in one pan! This traybake recipe gets you achieving the most with the least effort. Enjoy less chopping, less washing up and WAY less time. Indian-inspired flavours make this one a real winner – serve it up with my recipe for Bombay Sweet Potatoes for extra goodness.

Indian Masala Fried Rice (Phodnicha Bhat)

Typically, this dish uses last night’s rice and turns it into magical breakfast fare. The potatoes and peanuts? Creamy and crunchy – what a combo! This will be your new fave fried rice – trust me!

Indian-style Chicken Souvlaki

The much-loved Greek souvlaki has had an Indian-spiced makeover. You’ve got an absolute cracker of a marinade, fresh salad, zingy pickles and herby sauce. This one’s an eat-with-your-hands dinner the whole fam can get behind.

Indian-spiced Chicken & Cauli Traybake

This fuss-free traybake dinner option is a vibrant celebration of Indian spices, plus its keto friendly and low carb. Chuck it in the oven, and let it work its magic while you tackle everything else on your to-do list!

My new cookbook, Just as Delicious, is here!

Marion Grasby — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 23:20:38 +0000

My new cookbook, Just as Delicious, is here!

It’s LANDED and ready to pre-order. Cue happy dance!

Can I get a whoop whoop: my new cookbook is here! Yep, Just as Delicious has landed and is comin’ in hot. I am BEYOND excited. Full of page after page of my favourite food, it’s the companion cookbook to Always Delicious, but TBH it’s also worthy of standalone status in its own right. So what’s it all about? What recipes can you expect? How can you get your mitts on the magic? Read all about it… or watch the teaser vid below!

Just as Delicious: from concept to cookbook

The origin story for Just as Delicious is a simple one: I had so many recipes I wanted to share with you guys… and I ran out of room in my last cookbook! When I wrote Always Delicious (my first cookbook in YEARS), I set out to capture what you love most about my food and lifestyle channels: the tips, techniques and, most importantly, recipes that work. But it felt like only a small slice of the pie. And you can never have too much pie, amirite?

So here we are with Just as Delicious. Even more of the things you love, as well as the delightful details I believe make cooking and eating so joyful. Because for me, the point is not just what ends up on your plate. It’s about that smug little smile to yourself as you flip your flaky handmade roti in the pan. It’s about the soul-tingling joy in splashing foaming butter over the glorious crust of a thick-cut steak. And surely you’re doing a happy dance when that first piece of crispy fried chicken emerges from the hot oil. There is SO MUCH beauty in the process of cooking and that’s what I hope to share with you all.

I mean… just LOOK at them.

What to expect

First off: epic recipes, plus I’ve also got dishes in there that make use of essential (life) skills. And yes, while paying your bills on time and making your own bed are totally necessary life-admin fodder, I’m much more interested in knowing how to make the juiciest roast chicken or the ultimate gyoza.

In Just as Delicious, you’ll find the core techniques I come back to time and again. And throughout the book I’ve scattered QR codes that take you to exclusive video tips, as well as visual step-by-step guides. At the heart of it all is the ‘why’. Showing why something works, or why an ingredient is important gives you so much more than just a recipe. My hope is that it makes you celebrate the beautiful details and brings you more joy in the food you cook every day.

Just as Delicious: chapter by chapter

You can find out all about Just as Delicious (including how to secure your very own copy!) right here on my site – you won’t find it in bookstores or anywhere else. To whet your appetite, here’s a little teaser…

Poach, steam, sear, roast

The treatment of your ingredients is key to amping up the flavour. In this chapter you’ll find the best ever roast potatoes, melt-in-your-mouth steak and silky-smooth poached eggs, just to name a few. Rejoice!

Broths and braises

Warming and fragrant, satisfying and substantial, these are the recipes I treasure, both for their rich and rewarding flavours, and their soul-healing properties.

Crispy crunchy things

If snap, crackle and crunch mean anything to you, then this is the chapter you need. From fried chicken to cornflake prawns and potato pancakes, expect savoury perfection on every page.

Stir-fry, but make it good

All my tricks, techniques and knockout recipes to ensure you end up with a bowl of good stuff, rather than a sad, sweaty mess.

Whole lotta spice

Exactly what it says on the tin. Plus I’ve thrown in some unexpected surprises here too! (Hello, Sichuan peppercorn ice-cream.)

Bake me happy

In this chapter, you’ll find everything from friend-making breads to showstopper desserts. It’s a goodie!

SERVES

Ingredients

Steps

Select the Cake/Bread function on the Panasonic rice cooker.

Add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns to the dry rice cooker bowl and stir. Gently heat and toast for 1 minute to release the flavours and aromas, or until everything is smelling lovely and fragrant. Transfer to a mortar and use a pestle to grind to a fine powder, making sure you leave the rice cooker on.

Place the ground spices into a large mixing bowl, then add the garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder, ginger, garlic, yoghurt and salt. Mix until well combined.

Mix the beef through the marinade, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Stir through the green chilli.

Transfer the marinated beef and chilli to the rice cooker bowl. Select the Soup/Slow Cook function, close the lid and cook for 1 hour or until the beef is fork tender. Transfer to a serving plate. Top with extra green chilli and coriander sprigs. Serve with steamed rice or naan bread, if desired.

Notes:

– This ground chilli powder is made from Kashmiri chillies, a variety known for its lower heat rating and intense red colour. It’s widely used in Indian cuisine, especially in tandoori and butter chicken. It’s well worth seeking out online or at an Asian grocer to give this dish its colour and smoky flavour. Substitute regular chilli powder and a little sweet paprika if you can’t find this particular variety.

– This dish was made using the Panasonic 10-cup Rice & Multi Cooker SR-CN188WST. For more information, visit Panasonic’s website

Weeknight Beef Stroganoff

Not your typical beef stroganoff, my weeknight recipe uses surprise Asian ingredients to pump up the volume on the savoury scale. And that steak? So tender and as far from tough and grey as you can get! Creamy, rich and comforting, serve this weeknight dinner with your pasta of choice.

Sticky Char Siu Pork Fried Rice Bowl

How’s this for a bowl of comforting bliss: Cantonese-inspired BBQ char siu pork perched atop an epic fried rice packed with egg, savoury sauce and virtuous vegies. How to make this weeknight dinner even better? Get the PJs on, Netflix playing and phone on silent. Boom.

Japanese Chicken Curry Udon

Considered real Japanese comfort food, Japanese-style curry is typically eaten as curry Katsu (a curry sauce with rice and either sliced, crumbed chicken or pork) but is excellent in a soup iteration for thick, chewy udon noodles, boosted with chicken mince and finished with a whole raft of fun and delish toppings.

Aloo Keema & Cumin Rice

Another midweek saviour, heading your way! I can’t believe how much flavour you can pack into beef mince, but this recipe really shows how vibrant and versatile this staple supermarket ingredient can be. This savoury mince is bursting with Indian spices and umami, plus the tender potato adds a lovely creaminess to proceedings too. I love serving this dish with delicately fragranced rice and some fresh flourishes at the end. All up, this is a wonderful weeknight option for the whole family to enjoy – as well as your tastebuds.

Marion’s Massaman Roast Chicken Traybake

Tender, juicy chicken pieces and creamy potatoes marinated in Thai massaman make friends in this simple but rich-flavoured one-pan traybake recipe. And my new massaman curry paste makes it a time-saver – and game-changer! Serve it with some peanutty slaw for added freshness and you’ve got a filling and delicious weeknight meal.

Easy Weeknight Chicken Panang Curry

Craving a Thai panang curry but haven’t got the time to make your paste from scratch? No worries, I got you! This quick and easy weeknight version makes use of my brand new Marion’s Kitchen Thai Red Curry Paste – and it’s a midweek saviour. Blended with a few extra special ingredients, and you’ve got a full-bodied, exquisitely flavoured dinner on the table in a fraction of the time. Try it served with some steamed rice and a classic Thai omelette.

Vietnamese Chicken Curry Traybake & Fried Rice

A few prep steps, and then bung this one in the oven, put your feet up and let dinner do its thing. This Vietnamese curry recipe is kinda traybake, kinda casserole but all kinds of wonderful. Chicken and rice never tasted so good.

Speedy Sweetcorn & Pork Ramen

Feel like ramen but don’t want to spend hours simmering a broth? This is the express recipe you need for a quick and tasty Japanese noodle soup. A few little cheats turn everyday ingredients into a knockout weeknight dinner that’s ready in minutes. Watch the cookalong video and get set to slurp.

Sweet Chilli Peanut Chicken Nachos

Peanut butter fans – rejoice! Lovers of sweet chilli sauce, chicken and tortilla chips, you can do a happy dance too, because these Asian-ised nachos are loaded with everything you love. Crunchy, crispy and ridiculously cheesy, this weeknight family dinner is so darn easy to make. Play around with the ingredients too with beef mince, chickpeas, tofu, beans… anything your heart desires. Check out the cookalong video here to nail those nachos.

Cheesy Gochujang Baked Potatoes

These cheesy baked potatoes have a spicy, Korean-inspired pork and gochujang topping and are an easy family recipe to add to your dinner rotation. Starting them off in the microwave cuts down on cooking time, too.

Mongolian Beef Udon Noodles

This quick and tender stir-fry recipe blends Mongolian beef with chewy udon noodles for an Asian fusion dish the whole family will love. Check out our cookalong video to see these beef noodles come to life.

Vietnamese-style Chicken Salad with Noodles & Herbs

Having another ‘What’s for dinner?’ midweek meltdown? This simple Vietnamese salad is fresh and filling, and features chicken, noodles, herbs and a zingy dressing. It’s light, lush and full of crunch, thanks to some rather delicious crispy toppings. And before you roll your eyes, this is a salad recipe you can REALLY get behind (it’s anything but sad!).

Watch the cookalong video to watch this Make it Wednesday meal come together.

Indian spices

Indian-spiced Chicken Traybake

This weeknight, one-pan traybake recipe saves on chopping, washing up and the biggie: time. It’s an easy midweek dinner that packs in the flavour… and the vegetables. It’s not hot and fiery, but the Kashmiri chilli powder does add a slight hum of heat. If you’ve got kiddies in your clan, you could always switch it out for some sweet paprika instead.

Bombay Sweet Potatoes

Bring some Indian spice to your midweek with this simple but flavour-packed vegetable side. It’s comforting, warming and has just enough ingredients to make you feel a little bit virtuous.

Ingredients

Steps

For the cumin rice, heat the ghee in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and black pepper; the seeds will sizzle. Quickly add the rice and 2½ cups of water, bring to the boil, then cover with a tight fitting lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then cook for 12-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and stand for 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, for the aloo keema, heat the oil in a large non-stick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince, using a wooden spoon to break the beef up, and spread the meat out so it has as much contact with the hot pan as possible. Leave it to sear for 4–5 minutes until the meat develops a deep golden colour. Flip the mince, then continue to cook until the beef is almost cooked and all the excess water has evaporated. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to combine, and cook for a minute until onions are beginning to soften.

Add the cardamom pods, cumin seeds and cinnamon and give everything a good mix. Now add the chilli powder (if using), ground coriander, turmeric and garam masala. Reduce the heat to medium, then cook, stirring constantly so the mixture doesn’t catch on the base of the pan, for 3-4 minutes or until very fragrant

Add the tomato paste, chopped tomato, potato wedges and ½ cup water to the pan. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes are nearly tender. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, then cook, stirring, for about 8 minutes or until the excess liquid has evaporated, the potatoes are tender but still holding their shape, and you can see the oil start to separate out.

Place the onion, lime wedges, herbs and chilli on a small plate. Serve alongside the aloo keema, cumin rice and natural yoghurt.

Aloo keema

I made aloo keema with plant based mince from beyond burger. It turned out so delicious and the right amount of spiciness. I also made the JEERA basmati in instant pot and again was the winner. My husband and daughter were very impressed. Thank you for this amazing recipe. Will look out for more in your website.

Yummy + a bit spicy!

Easy to make and super tasty! Even though I didn’t have all the ingredients, it turned out really well. Garam masala was dominant in my version
