The season of comfort cooking has arrived. As the rain settles in (finally? inevitably?) we’re looking forward to embracing slower evenings, cosy nights in and a little more time spent at home.
In between stints on the sofa for must-watch TV, such as The Celebrity Traitors and Strictly, and beginning the countdown to Christmas, autumn is the perfect time to get ahead with batch cooking. Prepare a few comforting favourites now and you’ll have something delicious ready to go whenever you arrive home from a wet commute or an action-packed weekend.
From hearty soups and slow-cooked stews to golden pies and irresistible crumbles, we’re very much ready for the comfort food season.
Here’s our edit of essential cookware and clever kitchen gadgets, designed to make batch cooking effortless for an easy autumn.
