AUTUMN ARRIVING

Remember when it was hot, still, damp and sticky and felt like and endless summer – an ever-expanding Earth season. Then Autumn arrives – usually quite suddenly. Sometimes this is well after the Equinox but, early or late, it does arrive.

It is, however, a good idea to anticipate the change of season generally and this change of season in particular.

PREPARE YOURSELF

A good start is to pull back on the Late Summer eating. You can only eat so many ripe nectarines after all – and now they are all over-ripe and taste a bit weird.
This is the time to seek out some more contractive foods that will counterbalance the sweet, bursting stone fruit. Explore some PUNGENT FLAVOURS that will help reduce the damp of Late Summer: ginger, garlic, radish, dill/fennel, horseradish, SAUERKRAUT and, of course, my old favourite, daikon.
