Pumpkin
Nothing like a hearty, warm pumpkin soup on a crisp autumn evening, but there’s just so much more you can create with this classic veggie. Pumpkin Pie Porridge is just as nutritious as it is delicious, and it’ll be that quick fix brekkie you need in the morning before a big day.

Or for dinner you could be wining and dining with a Chicken, bacon, pumpkin and spinach risotto, that’ll warm you right up. Stay in and enjoy whilst watching your favourite TV show.
Cauliflower
The cover image of one of our best-selling cookbooks, and for good reason! These Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Sauce from Plant to Plate are an absolute crowd pleaser and the best part is, you don’t need to spend a fortune to make these wrapped pockets of joy.
Or if you’re thinking of making something completely different, try this Cauliflower fried rice from our Recipe Community – it’s a flavour rollercoaster!
Fennel
It’s “fennevitable” that you’ll come across some delicious recipes to cook! It’s great for the heart and for your bone health, and most importantly it makes for a fantastic ingredient in so many dishes. We’ve chosen some of our highlights! Featuring in Vegetarian Kitchen, the Fennel, date and nut bread ticks all of our boxes. You only have to actively cook for 25 minutes, so you’ll have time to spare for more important things! It’s always better to make wholesome food from scratch so you can avoid the store bought stuff.
Dani Valent’s incredible Double trouble fennel and tomato chutney recipe will go with just about anything – sausages, sandwiches (especially toasties), spinach pies and cheese platters. This is a great one to bottle up or to have straight away!
Mushrooms
The “M” in “Yum” is for mushrooms, let’s face it! And if you can’t get enough of them, then why not try the Mushroom-stuffed mushrooms. It’s a simple and affordable recipe that all of you fanatics out there will adore!
Or we could take it right back to the basics and make a Beef, carrot and mushroom casserole. Perfect for chilly autumn evenings to warm the heart, soul and body!
