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, theywere carved into jack-o'-lanterns and placed onto 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 also 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.

It's Hogmanay in the Hamely Kitchen. Chef Paula McIntyre is celebrating Auld Year's Nicht with a delicious festive supper.

On the menu is a warming bowl of cock-a-leekie soup. Paula doesn't do things by halves, so her version involves poaching a whole chicken, which leaves the meat beautifully tender. As Paula says, if you're harbouring any new year's resolutions, this broth, full of leeks and barley and parsley, will get you off to a great start.

Hogmanay wouldn't be Hogmanay without whisky, so Paula is off to Islay, where her ancestors are from, on a whisky pilgrimage. Joining her is whisky buff Lee Gibson. After a bumpy crossing from Portstewart to Port Ellen, they travel to Kilchoman Distillery in the west of the island. The journey proves to be worth it as they sample some whiskies made using traditional methods.

Back in the kitchen, Paula adds whisky to her next two dishes. For main course, she makes a malt and whisky lacquered duck with potato pancakes and a burnt apple sauce. For dessert, she shares her recipe for clootie dumpling, a traditional Scottish dish with a scoop of whisky-infused cream.

Along the way, Paula also reveals some of the Ulster-Scots traditions associated with Hogmanay. For example, there's first-footing, where the first visitor after midnight should always be a dark-haired man bearing gifts to ensure a warm and lucky year ahead.
