Simple and in Season: September’s Round-Up and October’s Shout-Out

Snuggle up under a blanket with a nice cup of coffee (and a biscuit if you’re greedy like me) and check out the entries for September’s round of Simple and in Season. There’s plenty of recipe inspiration to be had if you’re planning next week’s meals.

If you’ve not come across Simple and in Season before, this is a link-up for food bloggers to celebrate cooking with seasonal ingredients. It’s a great way to discover what’s perfect to eat right now and for getting ideas for new things to try.

This Courgette and Basil Soup with Focaccia Toast from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary was packed up in a flask and taken on a lush family walk in the Shetlands.

Yes, it’s definitely that time of year to get stuck into the hedgerows and get your crumble on! How about this classic Blackberry and Apple Crumble from Farmer’s Girl Kitchen?!

Big Stevie Cool has been creating in the kitchen, and this time he’s knocked out this scrumptious looking Fillet Steak with Beetroot Salad and Home Made Beetroot Crisps. I’ve definitely got dinner envy looking at this!

Here’s another Blackberry & Apple Crumble, but this one from Tin & Thyme has a nutty ginger topping which I reckon must taste pretty darned good and is extra warming to boot. Let’s face it, you can never have enough crumble.

Sarah is making the most of the hedgerow harvest with her stunning Elderberry & Port Jelly over on Tales From The Kitchen Shed. I love making jelly to stock up my cupboards as it makes for perfect Christmas pressies later in the year.

It really is hard to beat fresh corn on the cob – it blows the tinned stuff out of the water. My dad recently gave me a bag of corn he’d grown on his vegetable plot, so now I’ve got the perfect inspiration – Grilled Corn and Pepper Salsa from Every Day Healthy Recipes.

Holy moly, check these OUT! Sweet Autumn Dessert Yorkshires with Vanilla Sauteed Pear & Walnuts and Blackberry Coulis. The Gluten Free Alchemist is properly showing off here, and we LOVE it!

Another Yorkie recipe? Well it was batter week on GBBO wasn’t it! This time we’ve got ideas for both Savoury & Sweet Yorkshire Pudding Fillings over at Only Crumbs Remain. Which one will you go for? I fancy the Ratatouille ones myself…

Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary is back with another recipe, this time it’s her Homemade Fish Fingers with Paprika-Spiced Potato Wedges and Tartare Sauce – exactly the kind of meal I love making for the boys, so this is going on the menu plan for next week!

And we’re finishing off this feast of a round-up with dessert, naturally.  How about this Elderberry Tart with Cassis from Tales From The Kitchen Shed?! There’s always a bit of pudding space surely.

Thanks so much to everyone for taking the time to link their wonderful seasonal recipes up here over the last month, I’m feeling super inspired to give them a try!

Join in with Simple and in Season for October!

GUIDELINES

Simple and in Season is a monthly food blogging event where you are invited to link up any of your seasonal recipe posts – anywhere in the world! Join a thriving community of home cooks who love to share their seasonal creations.

Each month, there will be a round-up of all the entries.

• 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 this post mentioning Simple and in Season and linking to www.feedingboys.co.uk and then manually add the link to your post in the box on each month’s launch page (click the badge on my Blog sidebar to find the current host)
• The linky will close on the 30th and 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, and 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 have questions or problems, email me or leave me a comment in the comment box at the bottom of the post.
• If you are on Twitter or Instagram, tweet your link/photo adding the hashtag #simpleandinseason or add me @cookingkt and I will re-tweet it.
