November
A warm-up to Christmas festivities, November, with its spicy aromas, substantial stews and hot puds, is a great month for getting back to great British classics. Contrast frosty outdoor temperatures with steamy casseroles studded with root veggies and served with mounds of buttery mash – simple meals never tasted so good…
Parsnips
Ideal for roasting and frying, winter parsnips have an appealing natural sweetness and nutty flavour
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are at their best during autumn and winter when their flavour lends itself to spiced pies, casseroles and soups
Shallots
Milder than onions, shallots are popular in French cooking and noted for their subtle flavour
