Some Inspiration for a Sack of Winter Vegetables

Swedes, turnips and parsnips. These are our greatest winter root vegetables and I’m a real root vegetable man. They’re cheap as well and yet are absolutely sensational to eat. They work well with all our meats and blend superbly with potatoes.

Cabbage. A terrific vegetable that goes well with the winter flavours of roasts and casseroles. It is also very useful when cooking in advance because it can be precooked and then just microwaved to reheat. The best cabbage is savoy, lovely just cut into pieces and steamed or finely shredded and cooked in a deep frying pan.
