Ideas for autumn cooking
Transform your kitchen into a beautiful autumn kitchen! Here we show you how easy it is to adapt to the changing seasons with our three ideas for autumn cooking.
Warm kitchen lighting, e.g. with BORA Horizon or Novy Lights
In autumn, the days become darker again. That's why we need more light in the kitchen. This is the best time to update your kitchen lighting. Bring the latest lighting trends into your kitchen. For example, with the BORA Horizon pendant light or the modern Novy Lights, which are particularly smart and can be controlled with gestures alone.
Simply make tea with Quooker
Instantly boiling water at 100 °C, straight from the tap. No waiting time. With a tap from Quooker, this is exactly what you get. Perfect for making tea. Quick and easy. Our autumn favourite from this innovative brand is the Quooker Copper Rosé. With its rose-coloured surface, the metallic tap fits perfectly into the colour scheme of the golden season.
Kitchen statements in the trend colour red
Red in all its nuances is the absolute AW 2025 trend colour – even in the kitchen. Make a statement in your kitchen with bright red, e.g. with a Smeg kettle or toaster, subtly bringing that autumn feeling into the kitchen.

The ultimate bucket list for autumn 2025
Inspiring ideas for the ultimate autumn bucket list that lets you experience the magic of golden autumn days.
- Drink pumpkin spiced latte: With its warm, spicy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, the trendy pumpkin spiced latte perfectly captures the cosiness and flavour of pumpkin season.
- Build a bonfire: Bake bread on a stick together, roast marshmallows and enjoy a cosy get-together – a bonfire always creates a wonderful atmosphere.
- Bake your own bread: With its tempting aroma, homemade bread adds a special flavour to your autumn cooking.
- Take a walk in the woods: A walk in the woods in autumn is good for the body and soul. The fresh air reduces stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. The colourful display of leaves lifts the spirits.
- Collect leaves, acorns, chestnuts and mushrooms: Create natural decorations for your home or try out creative craft projects with chestnuts, acorns and autumn leaves.
- Read a new book: Get cosy indoors with a new book that stimulates your imagination. Reading in autumn promotes relaxation, helps reduce stress and invites you to reflect on life and nature.
- Bake cinnamon rolls: With their warm, sweet cinnamon flavour and fluffy yeast dough texture, cinnamon rolls are the perfect baking recipe for the cooler months. We choose 4 October (among other days) for baking because it is ‘Cinnamon Roll Day’.
- Make your own scented candles: Create a cosy, warm atmosphere in the kitchen with seasonal scents such as cinnamon, orange or clove. Not just for cooking, but throughout your home with homemade scented candles.
- Painting pumpkins: This autumn, we're painting pumpkins instead of carving them. A painted pumpkin lasts longer because the skin is not damaged and rotting is delayed. This means that your autumnal pumpkin decorations will stay beautiful for longer.
- Celebrating Halloween: Celebrating Halloween in autumn combines old traditions, the changing of the seasons and a playful exploration of fear and death in an entertaining way. On 31st October, we dress up in costumes to ward off evil spirits.

Delicious autumn recipes
When it comes to cooking, we focus on regional vegetables that are in season in autumn: pumpkin, mushrooms and all types of cabbage form the basis of delicious autumn recipes.
Mushroom risotto
Healthy cooking is our top priority, even in autumn when the choice of ingredients is rather limited. That's why we naturally choose fresh, regional ingredients for our autumn recipes, such as fresh mushrooms, which we use to refine a delicious risotto. Mushroom risotto is a creamy, flavourful rice dish with Parmesan cheese that tastes especially good on cool autumn days.
Recipe for an autumnal mushroom risotto:
For our mushroom risotto, briefly sauté 250 g risotto rice with a finely chopped onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then deglaze with 200 ml dry white wine and gradually add 600 ml vegetable stock. The 500 g of mixed mushrooms are fried separately, seasoned and later stirred into the creamy risotto. Finally, refine with 50 g of grated Parmesan and a little butter, season with salt and pepper and serve with fresh parsley as desired.
Pumpkin Spiced Latte
Creamy espresso with spiced pumpkin milk. Sweet, warm and aromatic with cinnamon and nutmeg. It's no surprise that pumpkin spiced latte is a popular autumn coffee trend. It's the perfect autumn drink, both in terms of taste and appearance!
Recipe for an autumnal latte with pumpkin spice:
To make a pumpkin spice latte, heat approximately 250 ml of milk and stir in 2 tablespoons of pumpkin purée, 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, and a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Prepare a double espresso with the coffee machine and pour it into the milk mixture. Stir well, pour into a cup and top with frothed milk and a sprinkling of cinnamon to taste.

Cinnamon rolls
Cinnamon rolls are sweet pastries made from fluffy yeast dough, coated with butter or icing and filled with an aromatic cinnamon-sugar mixture. After rolling and portioning, they take on their typical snail-shaped appearance, which makes them particularly popular. Once the yeast dough has been prepared, they bake in the oven in under 30 minutes, filling the kitchen with a pleasant cinnamon aroma. Ideal for cold autumn days that already get you in the mood for Christmas.
Recipe for 12 delicious cinnamon rolls made from yeast dough:
Mix 500 g flour with 75 g sugar, a pinch of salt and (optional) 1/2 teaspoon cardamom in a mixing bowl. Then make a well in the centre, spread 75 g softened butter around the edge and add 1/2 cube of yeast with 250 ml lukewarm milk to the well. Knead everything into a smooth yeast dough and leave it covered to rise for approx. 1 hour.
While the cinnamon roll dough is rising, prepare the filling. To do this, mix 75 g softened butter with 75 g sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. When the yeast dough has risen nicely, roll it out into a rectangle and spread the filling on top. Now roll up the dough from the long side and cut it into approx. 12 equal pieces. This creates the typical rolls. These are then placed in a greased tin, where they are left to rise for another 30 minutes before being baked at 180 °C for about 20 minutes. After baking, simply coat with a little icing as desired and enjoy!
