Seasonal Foods - October

Well it's still well mild here in the UK, with the occassional threat of a frost so there's no excuse to not get outside and keep harvesting the lovely produce that we have in the ground. My garden is almost empty now of the foodstuff from this growing season, we've not made decisions on over-winter crop with the exception of leeks that have been in the ground for what seems like eternity... but there's a tangent that I like to find, back to seasonal stuff, keep your seasonal recipes coming in please and remember to eat local, eat seasonal.
