Roasted pumpkin seed sour loaf

This beautiful pumpkin seed sour loaf has a thick, crunchy crust and a dense centre. Rustic and wholesome, it’s got the distinct taste of authentic artisanal bread with gorgeous nutty undertones. Serve it as a side or slice thick and grill with your favourite toppings.

Apple blueberry crostata

The crostata is one of the most-loved Italian desserts, and it’s not hard to see why. Consisting of a buttery crust filled with fresh apple and blueberry, this decadent treat is baked to perfection making it crisp, flaky, and oh-so-satisfying.

Chicken chipotle sandwich

This culinary delight mixes succulent, tender chicken, cheddar cheese, and salad — all topped with a creamy and slightly spicy chipotle sauce. The delicious filling is assembled between two slices of fresh, golden, and crispy focaccia, which really elevates the sandwich to new heights.

Orange cranberry scone
