Eat Seasonal: November

November is the end of Autumn. The last leaves are dropping from the trees. The weather is feeling colder, there is a distinct frosty chill in the air in the mornings. The clocks have gone back and days are shorter. We are getting up in the dark and coming home in the dark.

There are plenty of vegetables that love a nip of frost. Think leeks, swede, turnips, celery and parsnips. Squashes are also in season. Pumpkin and butternut squash are perfect for heart warming soups and delicious risottos.  Accompany game meat with the hearty root vegetables that you will find this month. Apples and pears are still to be found so make crumbles and pies while you can. Chestnut and cranberries are coming into season. Why not roast some chestnuts for a perfect Autumn treat?
