This time of year, there are more pumpkins in the shops than anything else, we love carving out pumpkins as much as the next person, but did you know that more than 8 million pumpkins are expected to be binned uneaten this year. So, we have put together a couple of recipes to make you think twice when walking past the pumpkins. Pumpkin hummus  Ingredients 1 small pumpkin (about 500g) Olive oil 2 garlic cloves, peeled ½ lemon juiced 2 tbsp tahini paste 400g can chickpeas, drained 1 red pepper, deseeded, and sliced 1 yellow pepper, deseeded, and sliced mini breadsticks and pitta chips, to serve Method Cut the top off the pumpkin, about two-thirds of the way up. Remove the pumpkin seeds, then scoop the flesh out of the bottom and the lid. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the pumpkin flesh into pieces and put in a roasting tin with the garlic and a good amount of oil. Season, then bake for 45 mins until very tender. Leave to cool. Tip the pumpkin into a food processor with any juices from the roasting tin and the garlic. Add the lemon juice, tahini paste and chickpeas. Season with salt and blend to a paste – add a little more oil if it's too thick.  Scoop the hummus back into the pumpkin and serve with the peppers, breadsticks and pitta chips. Pumpkin pancakes Ingredients 200g plain flour ½ tsp baking powder 200ml milk 100g of pumpkin, mashed 1 egg, separated Method Tip the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder. Measure the milk into a jug and stir in the pumpkin followed by the egg yolk. Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually add the milk mixture until you have a lump-free batter. Alternatively, tip everything into a blender and whizz it. Whisk the egg white until stiff, then fold it into the batter. Heat a non-stick pan and cook 1 large or 3 small pancakes at a time (if making small pancakes, use 1 tbsp for each). Wait until lots of bubbles have risen to the top and the surface has begun to dry out before turning them over, keep an eye on the base to make sure it doesn’t get too brown. No bake pumpkin cheese cake Ingredients 300g gingernut biscuits 350ml maple syrup (plus extra to serve) 350g full-fat cream cheese 300g pumpkin purée 300ml double cream Method Blitz 250g of the biscuits in a food processor with 125ml of the syrup until it resembles fine crumbs. Line a 20cm springform tin with baking parchment, then firmly push the crumbs into the base, transfer to the fridge and chill for 30 mins. Beat 100ml of the syrup with the cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Whip 200ml of the cream with 100ml of the syrup to soft peaks. Fold into the cream cheese mixture, then spoon over the base and level the top. Cover and freeze overnight. Lightly whip the remaining cream with the remaining syrup and dollop over the cheesecake. Crumble over the remaining biscuits and drizzle over some extra syrup. Leave to rest for 5 mins before serving. Who knew pumpkin could be so versatile and yummy!

The GEEPAS soup maker is the ultimate autumn/winter kitchen must have, not only are homemade soups good for you they can save you money.  You can easily make a week’s worth of lunches from one batch, which saves you loads of money on those expensive trips out on your lunch break. Before we share 3 delicious soup recipes with you, we have a number of tips to help you make most out of your soup maker. 1. Use boiling water for your stock, or liquid addition. This helps any vegetables cook thoroughly. 2. If you plan to use anything frozen, make sure the ingredients are fully thawed first. 3. Make sure all meat that goes into the soup maker is pre-cooked. 4. Chop your ingredients into smallish pieces, especially potatoes, carrots and turnip, this allows the vegetables to fully cook. 5. Ensure the lid is fully closed or sealed. 6. To prevent burning, make sure you add your liquids before you insert the rest of the solid ingredients.    SOUP MAKER RECIPES   Creamy Moroccan Carrot Soup  12 large carrots1 large onion1 red pepper1 tbsp of honey1 can of coconut milk Minestrone Soup 6 large carrots2 medium mushrooms1 medium onionHandful of sprouts½ a bag of spinach3 fresh tomatoes1 can of tinned tomatoes1 can of kidney beans50g of frozen peas100g of pasta Chicken Noodle Soup 250g cooked chicken, shredded200g potatoes, peeled and cubed70g carrots, peeled and chopped100g egg noodles1 litre chicken stock

Today is international coffee day! And at GEEPAS, we are celebrating all things coffee. We have put together some tips for those looking to up their coffee game and truly appreciate the greatness of this delicious drink. So, to start what actually is coffee? Well, it’s a brewed drink prepared using roasted coffee beans which are taken from the berries of the Coffea plant. There are two main species of coffee beans which are the Arabica and Robusta, and depending on where they are grown, both the country and the altitude determines the flavour of the coffee. For example, Brazilian coffee usually has more chocolate and spice flavour compared to Ethiopian coffee which has a stronger, sweet berry flavour.  That being said, there are many ways to make the most out of your coffee beans and enjoy it even more than you already do.  When’s the best time to drink coffee? According to some research, there are certain times which are best for coffee consuming. This is all down to a hormone our body produces called cortisol. This is the hormone we produce when we’re stressed or feeling anxious. However, there are certain times of the day when cortisol levels peak for the average person: 8am – 9am 12pm – 1pm 5:30pm – 6:30pm Caffeine can trigger small amounts of cortisol, so it is best to avoid drinking it at these peak times.  You may not enjoy your coffee if you’re drinking on an empty stomach Another way to make the most out of your coffee is to not to drink it on an empty stomach. This means that unfortunately, it should not replace your breakfast in the morning. You should avoid this habit as it could damage your stomach lining, cause indigestion and heartburn if drank on an empty stomach. So, to enjoy this drink in the morning we recommend having your caffeine fix with a hearty breakfast. The best foods that go with coffee We couldn’t tell you not to drink your favourite beverage on an empty stomach without recommending the best food and coffee combinations. Sweet or savoury, there are plenty of ways to create some delicious pairings. Coffee cake – Too much coffee? There’s no such thing! Coffee cake is the perfect sweet treat which goes hand in hand. Pastries –Following a sweet theme, many of us enjoy our favourite beverage with a light, fluffy pastry, and there’s a reason for it… it’s delicious! A full English – A filter coffee and a full English breakfast, a pairing that is hard to beat. Cheese – There are so many ways to pair coffee with cheese. Try a deep, dark roast with a nutty, hard cheese such as parmesan or manchego. Or enjoy a lighter, sweeter blend with a soft cheese such as ricotta. Chocolate – A luxurious pairing that is a delightfully indulgent. Enjoy the wide array of drinks that coffee has to offer One of the best things about this magical drink is the diversity. There are countless ways to enjoy it, and the only way to find your favourite is to try them all! Here is a guide to help you navigate through the world of coffee: Espresso – A strong shot of coffee that has a thick consistency. Latte – A cup that contains one shot of espresso topped off with consistently smooth, silky, frothy milk. Cappuccino – Similar to a latte that it contains one shot of espresso, but the milk is less silky and frothier. Mocha – A latte but with the addition of chocolate. Americano – A shot of espresso topped off with hot water. Flat white – A shot of espresso topped with a little less steamed milk than a latte has but with no froth. Irish coffee – An americano that has a splash of Irish whiskey, brown sugar and cream on top. And of course the perfect cup of coffee can only come from the perfect coffee machine, take a look at our coffee collection and enjoy!

With the start of the Great British bake-off we want to encourage people to get in the kitchen! Not only will you create some yummy food, according to a growing range of sources in both the culinary and mental health worlds. Baking has been found to have therapeutic value which helps to ease depression and anxiety.  Baking helps beat the blues Mary Berry once said, “If you’re feeling a bit down, a bit of kneading helps.” Baking can create comforting and nurturing feelings, which can help your mental wellbeing. Any activity which takes your whole attention – especially if it's simple and repetitive – such as weighing out ingredients or whisking eggs can have a calming, meditative quality. Baking boosts your confidence Even if it doesn’t turn out to be an Insta-worthy creation, the British Journal of Occupational Therapy found that baking boosted confidence and provided a sense of achievement. Taking pleasure and pride in something you’ve created can significantly boost your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. Ps, if it doesn’t look good, we are sure it will still taste amazing! Baking stimulates the senses The feel of the flour, the sound of the blender, and of course the smell! All these experiences stimulate the senses, which in turn increases your feel-good endorphins. Baking is creative Psychologists have found a strong connection between creative expression and overall wellbeing – so experiment with that recipe or make that frosting the prettiest it can be. Makes others happy One of the best things about baking is that you can enjoy your creations with others-putting a smile on their faces– which in turn will make you happy. So what have you got to lose?
