Good Food Middle East - November 2025

I dette nummeret

The November issue ushers in the cosiness of the season. The Dubai heat has finally softened, and the nights offer a welcome chill. You’ll find a wealth of brilliant One-pan wonders that deliver flavour with minimal fuss (p20). For those who favour strategic cooking, our recipes from ‘the Batch Lady’ (p30) will help you stock your freezer with nourishing, ready-to-go meals. We’ve also showcased the versatility of an air-fryer, demonstrating how this nifty gadget can produce quick treats such as soda bread rolls and nostalgic jam & custard pastry pockets (p34).
This time of year, our palates demand a transition towards seasonal comfort foods such as creamy Thai soup and our cover star, Pumpkin and coconut curry. We shed light on the flavours we’ll miss from summer but which transcend perfectly into autumn/winter cooking—think Fisherman’s shakshuka and Short-rib tacos with anise, ancho & chocolate (p56). Turn to page 76 for savoury and sweet Traybakes, featuring recipes so good they’ll “sell like hot cakes” at your next gathering.
With BBQ season upon us, we’ve compiled brilliant recipes and essential tips from page 88, to make the absolute most of al fresco dining. Finally, we turn to vital subjects in our Wellness section, where we present two informative features: What to eat during menopause (p98) and the profound ways spices can support your health (p102).
