Cooking with autumn and winter veg

A number of coming-in-from-the-cold comfort cookbooks arrive on your ckbk shelves this week. Riverford Organic Farmers, based in Devon in the UK, was a veg box pioneer, launching its scheme back in 1986 – and has also published several cookbooks. Riverford’s latest, Autumn and Winter Cooking with a Veg Box, along with Seasonal Soups (from greengrocer Fraser Reid, based in Dundee, Scotland), and Winter (from the Le Cordon Bleu Home Collection) are all packed with ways to make the most of the harvest at this time of year.
