Eating with the seasons: Autumn

Vegetarian for Life Roving Chef, Alex, shares some ideas on what to do with an autumn glut of fruit and vegetables.

Importantly, cooking with locally-sourced fruit and vegetables can lower your carbon footprint.

On our sister site, Alex discusses things to do with a glut of apples, including crumbles, cakes and apple Charlotte. He even shares one of his favourite dishes – vegan sausage casserole.

Tomatoes can be delicious when slow-roasted, and make a marrow into a fantastic main by filling with your favourite bolognese or chilli recipe.
