Messing with classics can create epic new recipes, like these shepherd’s pie baked tatties. Two glorious comfort foods rolled into one – we heart that! And adding tangy stilton does something amazing in this next level bubble and squeak .

British lettuce is in season till December, so salads are still a good option. If that doesn’t sound like appropriate nosh for colder months then take a look at this warm chicken, barley and mushroom salad and these other wholesome recipes.

Chilly weather calls for stews, hot pots and, well, chilli.

Or keep it veggie with this knockout butternut squash and borlotti bean stew.

Pies are also a winner when the temperature drops so reach for this one pot paneer curry pie – makes us hungry just thinking about it! – or this dreamy fish pie. With a hidden layer of mushy peas and a host of flavours, it’s sure to be one you’ll make again and again.

It’s hard to top that but we’ve saved the best for last. This toffee apple brioche and butter pudding is autumn in a bowl. British dessert apples, rich sticky toffee sauce, lashings of custard – what more could you ask for this season?
