Welcome to October
Well, we blinked, and the summer was over (if we really had one this year). The return of autumn also brings with it those ever-comforting roast dinners, piping hot bowls of soup, cinnamon-spiced drinks, cakes and more, and all the other wonderfully cosy recipes that get their moment to shine at this time of year.
In this month’s magazine you’ll find inspiration for cooking with warming spices, recipes to feed four for just £5, our Halloween-inspired menu and tips for seasonal eating this October – think sweet butternut squash, earthy beetroot and the last of the plums in our gloriously moreish crumble bars.
5 reasons to buy our October issue
1. Receive a free Cosy Puddings magazine
With every October edition you’ll also receive a free copy of our Cosy Puddings magazine. Tucked inside you’ll find 20 seasonal pudding recipes that promise to nourish, comfort and inspire. These cosy recipes are ideal for a dinner party with loved ones or simply to keep the autumnal doom and gloom at bay. After all, a great homemade pudding is just like a hug in a bowl.
2. Add a little comforting spice
Look out for ideas and inspiration to incorporate the most warming of spices into your October menu plan. Cinnamon and cardamom, while delicious in sweet treats and bakes, will also add an uplifting and aromatic flavour to homemade sauces. Try our meatballs with cardamom-infused tomato sauce for something a little different this October.
