Autumn Entertaining

Traditionally a time to give thanks for a successful harvest, the arrival of autumn brings with it a plentitude of wonderful produce. As the temperature cools, and the nights draw in, it’s the perfect time to put together simple menu of comforting dishes that celebrate this season’s produce. Using our Autumn inspired pinterest board, we’ve put together a perfect weekend menu for you.

As a starter, this recipe for Wild Mushroom and Fromage Fort Crostini by The Jewels of New York is the perfect autumnal treat.

This lamb pie with mint and peas is by Sam Linsell, food stylist and recipe developer, and was originally commissioned for the American magazine Organic Gardening with the feature appearing in their January 2015 issue.

“This recipe for lamb pie with mint and peas is one of my favourites. It cooks slowly to develop all the flavours and has a delicious potato galette topping. It’s worth all the effort to make and is guaranteed to impress at your next social gathering” says Linsell. You must take at look at her wonderful blog Drizzle & Dip – it’s packed full with inspiring and mouth-watering recipes.

A great side dish to accompany the lamb pie would be these harissa roasted carrots. The recipe is by the Flourishing Foodie – an incredible online resource for food ideas and inspiration.

And for pudding, this delicious Apple Tarte Tatin by Donna Hay would certainly help use up some of the bramleys. We love Donna Hay’s recipes – super simple, quick and packed with flavour.
