MIDWEEK IDEAS

"Autumn tends to be busy. Shorter days and less time call for the simplicity of meals that involve just a few great ingredients and a single pan – a pan you can take to the table to serve dinner from. The key is to get some crunch and texture in there, and a fnal herb and citrus garnish is all important… It’s the little details that make these recipes sing."

MONIQUE LANE, ACTING FOOD WRITER
