Hi Reader

Cooking with seasonal produce is a great way to eat more sustainably. Did you also know that it's often cheaper? When there's an abundance of something, the price comes down. Also, fruit and vegetables start to lose their nutritional value as soon as they are picked, so eating in season helps get the best nutritional value from your food.

​

What is in season in Autumn / Fall?

Here's a handy list!

French beans, runner beans, beetroot, broccoli, brussel sprouts, butternut squash, cabbages, carrots, cauliflower, celeriac, celery, chard, chillies, courgettes (zucchini), kale, leeks, lambs lettuce, marrows, onions, pak choi, parsnips, bell peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, rocket, salsify, shallots, spinach, squashes, swede, sweet potato, sweetcorn, tomatoes, turnip.

This week, these are the recipes I'm cooking, using those seasonal vegetables! I've also included a 'pantry recipe'. A pantry recipe is always handy as it avoids the need to go to the shops.
