November has a way of drawing us back into the kit November has a way of drawing us back into the kitchen. The days grow shorter, the oven stays on a little longer, and the food becomes altogether more comforting.

There are plums to bake until soft and syrupy, chard to wilt into butter and garlic, and swede to roast until its edges turn golden. Mushrooms are wonderful tumbled into a pan with eggs and thyme, celery brings its gentle savouriness to slow-cooked suppers, and oranges offer a welcome little brightness as the darker days settle in.

A month for taking pleasure in the simple things, and making something lovely from what’s in season.

Some of the nicest things to cook at this time of Some of the nicest things to cook at this time of year need nothing more than a warm oven and a little patience.

@gill.meller’s baked squash with creamed leeks and eggs is a wonderful example. Soft, buttery leeks, thyme and cider, with a Stonegate Estate organic egg tucked beneath each squash lid. A wholesome, comforting dish that’s well worth the wait.

Serves 2 | 1 hr 20–35 mins

Ingredients:

2 small onion squash (700–800g each)
2 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
2 leeks, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, sliced
4 thyme sprigs
75ml dry cider
100ml double cream
50g mature Cheddar, grated
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 Stonegate Estate organic eggs
Salt and black pepper

Heat oven to 190°C/170°C fan. Trim squash bases to stand upright, slice off tops to make lids and scoop out seeds. Oil, season and roast squash and lids for 45–60 mins until tender. Remove lids earlier if ready.

Meanwhile, gently fry garlic in butter for 1 min. Add thyme leaves and leeks, season and cook for 10 mins until soft.

Add cider, bubble for 1–2 mins, then add cream and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar and parsley.

Fill squash with leeks, make a hollow in each and crack in an egg. Replace lids and bake for 6–12 mins, until whites are set and yolks soft and jammy.
A pan of soft, sweet squash, creamy butter beans a A pan of soft, sweet squash, creamy butter beans and sage, spooned generously over buttered toast. A little crisp kale, a fried egg with golden edges, and something rather lovely happens.

This beautiful autumn recipe from @gill.meller is just the thing for a midweek lunch or an unhurried supper. Better still, the squash and beans can be made ahead, leaving little more to do than toast the bread and fry the eggs.

Squash, Butter Beans & Crispy Kale with Fried Eggs

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
350g squash, cubed
400–500g cooked butter beans
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 colander curly kale, stalks removed
500ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp capers
2 handfuls sage leaves
Pinch of chilli flakes
4 slices sourdough
4½ tbsp olive oil
Butter, salt and pepper

Method:

Heat oven to 100°C (80°C fan). Toss kale with 1 tbsp oil and salt. Bake for 30–35 mins with the door slightly ajar, turning occasionally, until crisp.

Fry onion, squash, garlic and chilli in 3 tbsp oil for 15–20 mins. Add stock and simmer for 10–15 mins until squash is nearly tender.

Stir in beans, capers and half the sage. Simmer until thickened, then spoon over buttered toast and scatter with crispy kale.

Fry eggs in remaining oil and a knob of butter with the rest of the sage. Season and serve on top.

There are few things more comforting than good che There are few things more comforting than good cheese on toast. Especially when there’s a touch of dark London porter beer from the guys @lymeregisbrewery , a little English mustard and a gloriously golden, puffed-up top involved. @gill.meller’s Welsh Rarebit Soufflé Toasts are just the thing for a slow morning or easy supper…

Serves 4 | 30–35 Mins

25g butter
25g plain flour
2 tsp English mustard
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
200ml dark Porter beer, we use Lyme Regis Brewery’s ‘Black Ven’
225g mature Cheddar, grated
2 Stonegate Estate organic eggs, separated
4 thick slices of white bread

Heat oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Melt butter, stir in flour and cook for 1–2 mins. Add mustard and cayenne, then gradually stir in the beer and Worcestershire sauce until thick and smooth.

Melt in the Cheddar over a low heat. Cool for 10 mins. Meanwhile, lightly toast bread on both sides.

Stir yolks into the cooled cheese mixture. Whisk whites to soft peaks, fold in a spoonful to loosen, then gently fold in the rest.

Pile onto toast and bake for 8–10 mins until puffed, golden and just set.

Best eaten immediately, while the tops are still beautifully risen.
