AUTUMN ON THE TABLE:

3 MEALS IN 1 – IDEAS FOR THE WEEK

Autumn is now well and truly upon us! As shorter days and the drop in temperatures may stifle your desire for going out, what’s better than cooking some delicious dishes to warm you up on the inside?

To give you some inspiration, our Nutrition Specialist and chef, Anna Caesar, has designed three different recipes that will get you off to a good start.

Aprons at the ready!
