| This comforting aromatic stew from Vicky Jones' excellent Beans, Peas & Everything In Between, works perfectly as a vegetarian dish of borlotti beans. If you wish you could also add some cubed tofu, pork shoulder or bacon, rubbed with crushed fennel seeds and browned in the pan with the onion and fennel wedges. |
"The use of fennel reminds me of Sicily, where the wild herb grows everywhere, and the leaves are used to flavour pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines) as well as sausages and cured meats. Fennel calms flatulence – fennel oil is used in the manufacture of babies’ gripe water – so its digestive properties make it the ideal companion for beans."

This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.

As the nights cool and the leaves turn, so wild mushrooms emerge from the mossy forest floor. Leanne Townsend found a beautiful patch of winter chanterelles and cooked them up with some British-grown carlin peas.
