Autumn offers an abundance of delicious seasonal produce. From crisp apples and juicy pears to root vegetables and squash, harvest season provides endless inspiration for home cooks. Whether you are celebrating the 25th anniversary of British Food Fortnight (Saturday 26th September to Sunday 11th October 2026) or simply looking for cosy seasonal recipes, these harvest-inspired dishes make it easy to enjoy the best flavours of autumn.
British farmers provide us with an abundance of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. I’m joining the organisers of British Food Fortnight in encouraging those of us who live in the UK to buy British – and if you live elsewhere I would love for you to consider how you can shop more locally as well.
I enjoy shopping at my local farm shop, butcher, baker, greengrocer and cheese shop not only because the food is delicious but because it is traceable and much of it is grown or produced close to home. Wherever you live, supporting local businesses, choosing locally grown and produced food, and embracing the rhythm of the seasons are wonderful ways to celebrate the harvest.
The recipes below showcase some of my favourite ways to make the most of autumn’s bounty, from comforting suppers and seasonal baking to elegant desserts perfect for sharing with family and friends.
