We’re back! We hope you have had an amazing summer, the sun shone, you had fun and ate lots of gorgeous food.
Has anyone else started to change their menu yet to correspond with the slightly earlier nights and drop in temperature? This time of year is the perfect excuse to indulge in pie; apple pie, fish pie, chicken pot pie, cherry pie, pecan pie or perhaps game pie. Whilst a pie can be warming and filling for the winter months, it also sits happily next to a salad, ideal if we have an Indian Summer this month.
