Two big nights in one week: Bonfire Night on Thursday and Diwali on Sunday. Here’s something for both — food to keep you going by the fire, plus sweets and savoury bites to share however you celebrate. 🎆

💡 Cook’s tip: no sugar thermometer? For toffee, drop a little hot syrup into a glass of cold water — if it snaps into brittle threads, it’s ready. For Indian sweets made with a sugar syrup, let a drop cool for a moment, then pull it between finger and thumb: one clean thread is the one-string stage many recipes ask for.
