Recipes that will make you excited for autumn
Summer may be over but now’s the time to enjoy crisp walks, cosy scarves and warming dishes like these…
Pies, puddings, pastas, soups, stews, slow-cooker favourites and so much more. There are so many seasonal treats to look forward to; pumpkins, apples, squash, sprouts, mushrooms to name a few.
Take things to the next level with a celeriac and brown butter soup with crispy kale, get cheesy with mini pumpkin fondues, try a pasta with sausage, sage and chestnuts, go golden with a butternut squash tarte tatin.
Fancy something sweet? This pear and brown butter strudel is the way to go. Try our dark chocolate parfait with berry sauce, or our plum upside-down cake.
