It’s September! What’s in season this month?

I always feel September can be an inbetweener month as we approach the end of summer and autumn is just around the corner, you never really know if you should have a salad or something warmer and comforting, but generally you still get those odd warm days.

So, as we head back to work after our summer holiday and children are going back to school, getting back into those routines of what to have for dinner can sometimes get a little stressed, so having some easy dinners is just what’s needed. Don’t forget some easy lunch box ideas, simple pasta salads are always great to have and can be made the day before, one of our favourites is pesto pasta salad.

To make the most of September’s fruit and vegetables, which are currently in season, here are a few suggestions to get you started.

• Apples
• Aubergine
• Blackberries
• Carrots
• Cranberries
• Figs
• Grapes
• Green beans
• Peppers
• Plums
• Pomegranates
• Sweetcorn
• Tomatoes
