It's the first day of Autumn and we already have pumpkins on the brain and headed out to charities all over London! Squashes (pumpkins are part of the squash family) are some of the most wasted food items this time of year. They're also not just for Halloween! So what can you do with them? Don't worry, we got you fam. Roast them (leave the skin on, it's easier to remove later) and blend with a bit of cream, salt, pepper, a touch of nutmeg (or cinnamon, it's up to you!) and you would have an excellent pumpkin soup. We're also lucky to be getting in fresh corn! Roast it (with those peppers too) and blend them into that pumpkin soup for a bit more smoky sweetness. For the bold, nothing beats roasted Mexican-style street corn! Roast the whole corn on the cob on your grill or under the broiler until it's charred. Paint on a thin layer of mayonnaise. Grate that cheese from the back of your fridge over it, sprinkle with chili powder (you know you have some, it's behind the star anise), fresh chopped coriander, and squeezes of lime juice. Just make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand when you take the plunge. And before yous say, "Hey, you didn't give us measurements!" That's by choice because we should all be using what we have. Often, recipes create waste or we purchase items we only use once (looking at you harissa paste!🙄) What are some of your favourite Autumnal recipes? And do you have an amazing pumpkin pie recipe?
