As the vibrant hues of autumn leaves paint the landscape, October ushers in a season of rich, comforting flavours, reflecting the essence of this crisp and invigorating time of year. Savour the transition into cooler days with dishes that warm the soul and celebrate the season’s finest ingredients.

October is a notable month for seafood lovers. The cool, crisp waters bring a bounty of fresh catches to our tables. Plump, succulent oysters, mussels, and clams are at their prime, offering a sweet, briny taste that captures the essence of the sea. Mackerel and hake are also in season and are known for their firm, flavourful fillets.

The garden is brimming with a medley of vegetables that embody the heartiness of this autumn season. Pumpkins and squashes, with their vibrant orange flesh and sweet, nutty flavours, take centre stage. Root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, and turnips provide earthy, robust flavours ideal for hearty dishes.
