It’s Halloween, and Paula has some recipes with a spooky twist to share. On the menu is neep and cider soup, sausage cobbler and a mouthwatering toffee apple pudding.

In Ulster-Scots, Halloween is known as Haleve Nicht. Paula cooks up a Haleve Nicht feast perfect for a celebration with family and friends.

Turnips are a key part of Haleve Nicht and, traditionally, they were carved into jack-o’-lanterns and placed on to gateposts to scare unsuspecting passers-by. Paula transforms the scoopings into a delicious turnip and cider soup with an accompaniment of mini smoky bacon sodas.

Paula also shares her recipe for sausage cobbler. It's gluten-free, which will satisfy those guests with dietary requirements.

No Halloween would be complete without apples, so Paula rounds off her feast with a delicious toffee apple pudding. There is a little bit of culinary magic involved as the pudding separates during the cooking process into a tangy apple filling topped with a sweet sponge.

Paula also meets Lolly Spence at the Dark Hedges to hear a tale about a local ghost that supposedly haunts the avenue of trees.
