As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, autumn brings a desire for cosiness and warmth. The harvest season offers an abundance of ingredients, perfect for crafting rich, hearty dishes that bring comfort and joy to your autumn events.
When the season changes, so do our catering options. Because we are bespoke, we can offer various autumn-inspired dishes, perfect for embracing the season’s flavours and tailoring our service to your autumn event’s unique style.
In this post, we’ll explore how to make the most out of the autumn harvest through comforting, seasonal ingredients, discuss which foods are in their prime and how we can provide you with dishes that will make your autumn events unforgettable.
Why seasonal Ingredients matter
Seasonal ingredients are picked out at their peak of ripeness,
which means they are often more flavourful and fresher compared to out-of-season alternatives. Because of this, the taste of fruits and vegetables harvested at the right time is usually better. There is also more nutritional value to them because they are grown in their natural season, which helps them retain more vitamins and minerals.
Embracing autumn with seasonal flavours
Since we offer bespoke services, we can tailor our menus to suit your needs, making it helpful to know what’s currently in season for your autumn events. In-season ingredients for you to enjoy include a vibrant selection of root vegetables like carrots, beetroots, and turnips, leafy greens such as kale, lettuce, and watercress, plus squashes, tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms.
At this time of year, seasonal meat and game are abundant too such as beef, duck, venison, and turkey, along with a wide variety of fresh fish and seafood, including cod, mackerel, oysters, and prawns.
Herbs are also great this time of year such as chives, coriander, mint, parsley, rosemary, sage and of course our favourite, plenty of thyme!
