AUTUMN FOOD.
Autumn could be my favourite season. Richard & I got married in autumn and its my birthday too – so I’m a real autumn girl. The leaves start to turn, the mustiness returns to the air; you can start to think about putting on layers instead of the dread of taking them off - - and best of all - - it's the game season. Light the fire, bung in a pheasant for a really long slow braise, heaven!
What follows are just a few ideas for autumn eating. I’ll cook you any dish you like, but in my opinion, these are the best and most natural things to eat in the autumn.
Starters for an AUTUMN wedding:
Game terrine with spiced apple chutney and thick granary toast.
Wild mushroom soup with a chunk of bread & unsalted butter.
Spiced parsnip soup with cumin.
Winter leaf, English apple & pancetta salad with a warm dressing.
Onion & Welsh rarebit tart on dressed leaves.
Main courses for an autumn wedding:
Pheasant breasts with apple, calvados & cream.
Wild duck with damson & red wine sauce.
Tuscan sausage casserole in Chianti.
Roast partridge with homemade bread sauce.
Luxury fish pie with mature cheddar mash.
Slow cooked pork with cider & apples.
Desserts for all year round:
I haven't mentioned desserts in my seasonal ideas, but it goes without saying that a chocolate pudding (be it mousse, hot fudge sundae, torte or roulades) can be eaten 365 days a year, that Eton mess, corny as it is, is a match made in heaven & a perfect summer dessert, that Posh jelly & ice cream is always popular & that, come autumn & winter stick to your ribs desserts like bread & butter pudding, cobblers & crumbles (with all the deliciousness that autumn berries offer) with my homemade vanilla custard (to die for) are no brainers!
