There are big perks to shopping seasonally. Not only are your shops cheaper, but your produce is fresher and better tasting too. It also means you’re getting more variety in your diet throughout the year, giving you plenty of opportunities to expand your recipe repertoire.   These winter ingredients are in season for the next couple of months, so make the most of them with some of our delicious recipes:  Pears – Nashi, Buerre bosc, Josephine or Packham  When the colder months come calling, pears finally have their time to shine. Unlike the tropical fruits favoured in summer, pears have a more subtle flavour that makes it a versatile ingredient to add to salad, served with granola or cooked through for dinner.  Click here for our Steamed Pears recipe, a warming and delicious dessert drizzled with warm chocolate, or an upgrade for your morning porridge.    Pumpkin  Sure, pumpkins pack an autumnal punch with their warming colours, but this delicious vegetable should be by your side all throughout the winter months too. Serve roasted pumpkin as a side dish to your roasts, or stuff them to add more bulk for a vegetarian favourite. Pumpkin puree can be added to scones and cupcakes, or it can make the base for a more-ish ricotta gnocchi.  While all those recipes will ensure you don’t let a single scrap of pumpkin go to waste, click here for one of our favourite pumpkin recipes – a surprisingly easy pumpkin risotto.  Apple - Bonza, Fuji, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Red Delicious  While eating an apple a day might keep the doctor away, we think that baking with them is really the best medicine. Apple desserts are a favourite around here. Their tart flavour isn’t too sweet, and they pair beautifully with caramels and creams.   Whether you’re looking for a classic dessert, like an apple pie or apple crumble, or a new way to enjoy apples like pairing them with baked camembert for the ultimate combination of salty and sweet, we have got you covered.  For a new take on an apple dessert, click here for our Apple Kuchen Tart with Salted Caramel Sauce.      Brussels Sprouts  We know that many people have some negative thoughts when it comes to this vegetable. They imagine flavourless balls boiled to within an inch of their lives. Our Honey Bacon Brussels Sprouts are going to change your mind completely.  Sure, this recipe is helped by the salty-sweet combination that always gets your tastebuds tingling. And adding bacon is generally a way to make any vegetable sing. But the real reason this recipe is an absolute winner is that the sprouts are roasted until golden while the bacon gets crisp alongside. This stops you from getting soggy sprouts and gives them a depth of flavour you never imagined existing.  Don’t believe us?

Cold and flu season is upon us and a healthy body and strong immune system can help us recover faster – and hopefully help us not get sick in the first place. Keep reading to find out what foods help to boost your immune system. The best part? We’ve included some delicious recipes that you can create using these foods which will be a lot more enjoyable than swallowing vitamins.  Capsicum  We’ve been told for years that a big glass of orange juice is the best thing to boost your vitamin C levels and help to support your immune system, but did you know that capsicum (also known as bell peppers) actually contain twice as much Vitamin C as citrus?  Get your daily dose by chopping them into a fresh salsa or with this stuffed capsicum recipe.    Broccoli  It might be considered a side dish, but broccoli is worthy of an upgrade.
