Welcome Welcome to our October issue. The wind and rain may have made a return but we’ve prepared accordingly, with pages and pages of comforting, great British classic dishes. From perfect pies to hearty Lancashire hotpot and scrumptious scampi, we’ve got nostalgia wrapped up in a warm food hug. And for those of you with a sweet tooth, we’ve got some great puddings… How about retro lemon meringue pie and chocolate gateau (page 47)? We show you how to cheat these classics or make them from scratch. And we’ve got seven simple ways with sponge pudding (page 58). If you love our cover with its heavenly chocolate sponge pudding as much as we do, why not give it a try? We can’t wait to see how you get on, so send us your photos. Happy cooking!
