With the clocks changing very soon, thoughts, wardrobes and kitchen stoves are turning towards more seasonal notes; adding a sweater here, one more blanket there, and at the same time our shelf of cookbooks beckons us to return to baking, braising, or simmering – all perfect ways to match our cravings as the nights draw in.
Try the minestrone soup here, or the savoury tart (please feel free to adapt and adjust the ingredients as you wish), or the moreish baked pumpkin. All could easily be served as either a first or a main course, and would work equally well as a simple lunch dish or part of a more elaborate dinner.
