It's a fantastic time to get out the casserole dish or hot pot and serve up some dinners that will warm up and delight all your family and friends. The great thing about this type of cooking is that once the main preparations are done, slow cooking means you can get on and enjoy an hour or two for the finer things in life! It's a great time to select a fine wine to accompany your lamb or venison casserole. Perhaps, the best thing is to do nothing, put your feet up and listen to some inspiring music before your guests arrive. The advantages of a one pot wonder meals are clear and you can always garnish with parsley to take away the guilt!
Let's not forget the wonderful pumpkin, and if you want to move away from the natural sweetness why not add some Indian curry spices for a real winter taste sensation. The colour is something straight out of Rajasthan and the blending of the right spices can really wow any dinner guests. The great advantage of cooking a pot of pumpkin curry is that it can be cooked the day before as the flavours develop and enhance the taste. Summer foods may be all about freshness and immediacy, but we can take our time with these types of dishes.
