Autumn is a double whammy, the weather closes in and soup becomes more appealing, and we get a glut of squash and pumpkin. This recipe is lovely, a little kick of chilli and ginger, and it’s vegan too (with a little adjustment). Yum! For 6-8 servings, you will need: 1½ kg peeled and deseeded squash or…

Recipe – Cauliflower Cheese
This is one of those things that many people feel is best left to ready-meal territory; too hard to make yourself or a bit of a faff. Actually, it’s not that tricky and can easily be fitted into doing a roast. You will need: Head of cauliflower 200ml milk 25g plain flour 150g Cheddar cheese…
