The Chestnut Season Rule

Today's Tip

October and November belong to chestnuts. Street braziers appear, and chestnuts move into savoury dishes rather than desserts: with cabbage, with game, in stuffing. They are treated as a vegetable.

Try This

Buy pre-cooked vacuum-packed chestnuts and add a handful to braised cabbage or a lentil dish this month. They break down slightly and thicken everything around them.
