Food: dishes for autumn
In the kitchen with Georgie Soskin and Jo Saunders of Cooking Them Healthy
As the poet John Keats famously said, autumn is the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. We love embracing the changing of the seasons, and believe it is important to shift our food choices accordingly. As the days shorten and the summer heat begins to fade, opt for slow-cooked dishes and choose seasonal fruits and veg. Eating seasonal produce is important, as these are the most nutrient-rich, offering support for our immune systems.
In accordance with traditional chinese medicine, it?s also advised to avoid too many raw foods during winter because they are believed to have a cooling effect on the the body and deplete our ability to assimilate food efficiently. We therefore recommend eating warming foods, cooking them for longer and at lower temperatures. Our chicken coconut curry is an ideal recipe for autumn, one of our absolute favourites.
Who doesn’t enjoy a warming curry as the cooler evenings set in"
CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY
This mild, golden coconut curry is the ultimate comfort dish, with a lovely natural sweetness from the raisins. Thigh meat is more economical than chicken breast, and is packed full of flavour. This recipe is always a hit with the children in our house, and you can jazz it up for a dinner party by throwing in some spring onions, coriander and toasted almonds. Equally, enjoy it while curled up on the sofa with a baked sweet potato.
