Autumn is finally here, and we know your menu will most likely be changing alongside the English weather! The following recipes will give an autumnal twist to your menu that will keep your customers coming back for more. From rich desserts to light, mouth-watering starters, we want to ensure you get the best out of in-season ingredients throughout your entire menu.

Apple

The Apple, a simple ingredient that is often made hero by a classic crumble or pie; why not switch things up this Autumn? From North West Young Chef finalist Leo Deglane, this Bramley Apple Charlotte with Rhubarb Fool is a dish packed with those feel-good flavours; destined to be a hit on your menu!
