Sweet and tasty and lovely and comforting on a cold dark day. Butternut squash and pumpkins always cheer me up with their lovely orange flesh and soft velvety smoothness when cooked.

Nice and spicy for Firework Night and using up some leftover pumpkin from Halloween. While the broth simmers chop up some herb, chilli and garlic to quickly fry a few prawns.
Delicious rolls of swordfish stuffed with currants, parsley, garlic. Involtini di pesche spada!
Delicious caponata, full of flavour, sweet and tangy and great to eat warm for supper or cold in your lunchbox tomorrow.
Delicious little mushroom fritters, or Polpettes di funghi! Bite sized deliciousness dipped into fresh tomato sauce. Great on their own or added to the table as an antipasto.
An autumnal salad, warm and spicy, and very satisfying on a cold October evening. Cubes of roasted sweet potato with garlic, cumin and cinnamon, in a couscous and feta salad. If there’s any left over it’s very nice in your lunchbox tomorrow. And perfect for Meat Free Monday.
Inspired by Jenny Chandler’s kitchen demonstration at Borough Market yesterday praising the humble but versatile egg, a simple but delicious meal made with beautiful mushrooms and a couple of hen’s eggs. Simple, quick, delicious. Just how I like it.
A lovely autumnal soup, perfect for Halloween. Flavoured with coconut milk, chilli, and ginger, and topped with spicy pumpkin seeds. Deliciously warming.
As part of my eat clean month I’m juicing fruit from the garden. And there is plenty! You’ve got to love picking fruit from the tree and juicing it. But even if you can’t pick your own, a few choice fruits mixed with vegetables and you’re getting a good start on your 5 a day. I’ve also found that juicing encourages me to eat well all day. Each recipe serves 1.
