November is already drawing the nights in, and it’s giving me a craving for slow cooked stews, steaming bowls of soup with crusty bread and hot fruity desserts.
Winter might not seem like a colourful season for cooking, but it does bring with it the urge to cosset and comfort ourselves with nourishing dishes.
Are you up for sharing your favourite seasonal recipes this month? I hope so, because i’m hosting this month’s round of Simple and in Season. This inspiring event was dreamt up by my friend Ren whose beautiful blog never ceases to uplift with her dreamy styling and photography.

SIMPLE & IN SEASON GUIDELINES
- All you have to do is come up with a dish using any seasonal produce you like (savoury or sweet) post it on your blog, add a link to feedingboys.co.uk and renbehan.com mentioning Simple and in Season and then add the link to your post in the linky below.
- A round up post featuring all the recipes entered will be posted at the beginning of each new month.
- You can take inspiration from anywhere – adapt a recipe from your favourite cookbook, try something from a magazine, make up your own creation or share a family favourite. The usual rules apply when using someone else’s recipe, please either get permission from the author to post it or adapt it in some way stating how/why you’ve changed it.
- Include any seasonal produce you fancy including fruit, veg, herbs, meat or fish.
- Link as many recipes as you like. You can link posts entered into other blog events or carnivals as long as it involves a seasonal food item (and fits in with their rules).
- The linky-up is open to anyone, anywhere, although it will be nice to feature as much British produce as possible, it will be interesting to see what’s in season elsewhere.
- By entering your link, you are giving me permission to add your photograph to the round-up. I will link back directly to your post when I include you.
- If you are on Twitter, tweet your link adding the hashtag #simpleandinseason or add @cookingkt and @RenBehan and we will re-tweet it.
Adding it to The Food Blog Diary and submitting my smoothie 🙂
