What's In Season?

It’s a great time of year to find colourful fruit and vegetables to brighten up the winter table

- 

-- APPLES

Of course perfect in wintry puddings such as crumbles and tarts. They make a great addition to stuffing (see our recipe on page 36), and we love crisp apple slices on a festive cheeseboard.

-- BRUSSELS SPROUTS

As long as they’re not overcooked, every Christmas dinner plate should have a few – steam lightly then stir-fry with pancetta and chestnuts, or shred raw into a salad.

-- CABBAGE

Red cabbage looks so festive at this time of year, cooked with traditional spices (see page 36), or shred into a healthy coleslaw to serve as part of a buffet.
