This scary sight is quickly eased by the pleasure of how good small cocktail sausages taste with maple syrup. All you have to do is trim nails and knuckles into the sausage (strange, we know!) with a small knife to turn this classic into a Halloween recipe.

Fried Oyster Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the stars of this vegetarian “fried chicken” recipe. Oyster mushrooms are coated with a milk- and lemon-based breading (imitating buttermilk) as well as cornstarch. Once the mushrooms are fried, you get a light, crispy texture, and tenderness in the centre. They are accompanied by a dip inspired by ranch dressing and made with mayonnaise, sour cream and miso.

Grilled Broccoli Salad with Herb Dressing
A grilled broccoli salad is a big yes. Here, it is cooked on the grill and then cut up into bunches for more efficiency. The mix of flavours and textures—with the freshness and crunch of cucumber combined with the roasted taste of broccoli—is surprising and delicious. The salad is served with an all-purpose dressing made from parsley, basil and chives, which allows you to clean out your herb drawer or the last sprigs of your home garden.

Barbecued Beef Marrow Bones
As a starter, marrow bones delicately seasoned with chives are both surprising and interesting to serve, especially since they are easier to make than you might think. In this recipe, they are drained overnight before grilling on the barbecue. When done, the marrow is removed from the bones. Known for its subtle nutty and grilled meaty taste, it’s great when spread on toasted sourdough bread.
