In Season Fruit & Vegetables

Eat in season

What’s delicious in September

After the warmth of summer, September brings a bountiful crop. Apples and fresh figs are both wonderful raw or baked, and maincrop potatoes and fresh chestnut mushrooms are also worth seeking out

The humblest of them all

It’s hard to imagine a humbler vegetable than the potato, yet it is so versatile and can provide so much comfort. Try new-season Maris Piper and King Edward potatoes in soups, potato hash, and, of course, with your Sunday lunch

Jammy goodness

Figs provide a decadent sticky sweetness when eaten raw, pair well with cheese, and are delicious baked in Marsala wine. It's worth noting that once picked, figs don’t continue to ripen so for the best flavour and texture, look for plump, tender fruit

The mighty mushroom

Boasting both a rich, earthy flavour and firm texture, chestnut mushrooms are a great ingredient to have to hand as the weather cools. The trick is to cook off as much liquid as possible, intensifying their umami flavour – baking and frying are wise choices
