Autumn veg box recipes

Food shopping can be a bit of a minefield at times, particularly when choosing products you will enjoy, whilst balancing cost, environmental and ethical issues.

Personally speaking, food shopping will always be a toss up between these factors. Cost is a major factor, but I am definitely part of a growing number of people wanting to eat local, seasonal Organic food. Part of the difficulty with that for most people is actually sourcing ingredients – I certainly struggle to find a good farm shop, and don’t always have loads of time to dedicate to food shopping. So, with that in mind, I was keen to try a veg box from Abel & Cole, as they offer a wide range of groceries as well as fruit and vegetables.

My delivery arrived at my door within my allotted time frame, and included fresh vegetables, meat, wine, olive oil, fruit, vegetables and chilies. All the meat and vegetables was from within a 150-mile radius from my home, and was all Organic and very, very fresh. The wild venison from Hampshire Game was superb. Like for like prices are extremely competitive. The quality of the produce is outstanding, and it is a very convenient way to shop. All boxes come with a selection of seasonal recipes for you to try, but here are some  of my seasonal recipes for you to try – all made with ingredients from my veg box.
