Nature times the arrival of these autumn jewels to perfection, just when you need a hearty boost of vitamins to warn off the cold, here come the squashes and pumpkins in all their glorious shapes, sizes and colours. Buying squash from our local organic farms for 2 North Parade is one of my greatest pleasures, choosing from; crown prince, sweet dumpling, spaghetti, gem, butternut, kabocha, turks turban and uchiki kuri, all filling the shop with autumnal colour. Their sweet nutty flavour lends itself to soups, and roasting intensifies this and the shape of the squash does provide the perfect bowl for stuffing and baking, with cheese, pancetta, herbs and vegetables, pop into the shop and we'll share some recipe ideas with you.
