The harvest festivals weren't really holidays, per se, but the advent of the fall season meant there were pumpkins from Endor at the temple. Baze would gorge himself on toasted pumpkin seeds, roasted pumpkin with salt, and pumpkin soup with coconut milk.

An actual Byzantine recipe I cook every year, long before I met Sinric but I now think of it as his.

Honey Saffron Tart

2 pre-made sweet pie cases
450 ml Thick cream
1/8 tsp Saffron
150 ml Milk
3 Eggs
2 Egg yolks
150 ml Honey (the darker and stronger, the better)

Bake pastry cases as per instructions. Allow to cool fully.

Heat the cream, saffron and milk together in a saucepan until warm through but not boiling.

Beat eggs and yolks with honey in a bowl.

Slowly add hot liquid, beating constantly with a whisk.

Pour into the pie cases and bake at 180oC for 25-30 minutes or until set.

Serve hot or cold. Can also be made as a baked custard (in a cake tin, without the pie cases.) Goes well with thin ginger biscuits.
