Confit parsnip and carrot crumble
Pithiviers – basically posh French dome-shaped pies – bring a sense of occasion to any meal. This one cleverly combines a roundel of squash with roasted mushroom and hazelnut du xelles, plus an oozing goat’s cheese centre

Miso, onion and kale frangipane tart
Frangipane is usually reserved for sweet tarts, but the almond paste works equally well in a savoury setting, especially when topped with iron-rich kale and sweet, sticky miso onions. We’ve used egg replacer to keep it vegan, but you could use a medium free-range egg instead
Turnip, cheddar and quince rose
A beautiful starter that’s a cinch to put together – and a showcase for an often-forgotten vegetable that deserves far more attention.
