Recipe from Basics to Brilliance by Donna Hay.

Once you have made this recipe, try it in Donna’s Feel-Good Chicken Soup.

Ideal as a side or main dish, this versatile gratin is packed with flavour and can be prepared in advance. Simply omit the pancetta to make a vegetarian version.

Slow roasted pumpkin, smoky pancetta and pappardelle with pickled walnut and crispy sage.

Inspired by places and people they love, Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr-Ellison, founders of Tart London and Wild by Tart, cook food with big flavours and seasonal ingredients, sustainably sourced where possible.

“We absolutely love pasta – our Achilles’ heel! Pumpkin is so delicious at the moment, and Delica is our favourite – we wanted to make something vibrant, comforting and luxurious and came up with this recipe – we loved it so much we have put it on our restaurant menu!

With braised red onions, pickled chillies, rocket & yoghurt dressing.

This vibrant seasonal dish packs enough flavour to be served as a standalone dish, or would make a great accompaniment to roast chicken or lamb. The pickled chillies give a peppery heat to the dish, balanced by the yogurt dressing.

This recipe is inspired by a dish served in our cafés. Discover more seasonal recipes and cooking skills at our Cookery School.

We love it as a weekend dish, cooked for brunch and served with delicious fresh cold-pressed juices.

A recipe from our tutors at the Cookery School to celebrate the seasons throughout the year.

The scone-like topping works just as well with stewed cinnamon pears in winter or ripe stone fruit in summer. In the autumn months, chopped apples and blackberries are lovely and you could even swap the almonds for seasonal cobnuts.

"This is an ‘instant’ soup. Simply blend the raw ingredients together in a decent blender, and it’s ready. No cooking required."

This simple nourishing broth is full of minerals. The natural sweetness of leek and carrot balances and rounds out the flavours.

Nothing is more satisfying than a warming, nourishing bowl of broth on a winter’s day and this one is a celebration of winter vegetables from our organic market garden.

This is a dish that can be enjoyed year-round. Quick to make, it creates minimal need for washing up and delivers on flavour.

This is an amalgamation of two classics: mayonnaise and salsa verde, the famous Italian green sauce, full of herbs with capers and anchovy.

A light way to use up leftover turkey in the days after Christmas, a lovely combination of winter ingredients, it’s one of our favourites.

This bright smoothie with blackberry, mint and honey is full of flavour and equipped with soothing and nourishing benefits.

There is no better way to celebrate the mushroom flavour than with generous doses of organic butter, garlic, salt, pepper and fresh herbs.

Simple to make and delicious to eat, our Garlic & Thyme Mushrooms on Toast recipe is the perfect warming, speedy supper for autumn evenings.

Try baking a variety for added colours and textures and serve as we have done here on a big platter, drizzled with the flavourful butter.

We like to serve these baked plums with organic yoghurt and local honey for breakfast or a light dessert. They also make a delicious accompaniment to lean venison or seasonal game – spoon the juices through rich gravy for a little sweetness and colour.

Try alongside our recipe for Loin of Venison with Celeriac Purée.

Bold enough to be served as a standalone lunch or supper dish, this recipe is also a great accompaniment to roast chicken, pork or lamb.

Few sounds are more satisfying than a spoon cracking through the scorched golden top of a crème brûlée to reveal the creamiest vanilla custard core. This is one you need in your entertaining bag of tricks.
