In now

Unwrap an instant childhood flashback by peeling a baggy-skinned, sweet and juicy, imperial mandarin.

At their best

Autumn sweetcorn is delicious roasted or barbecued. Buy cobs in their husks where possible.

Best buy

All the pumpkins are bargains but the cheapest are the japs and jarrahdales. Both are more watery than a butternut, so give them a bit of extra room in the roasting tin so they will caramelise and not stew.

In the vegie patch

Sow a row of spring onions every few weeks for an ongoing supply. They are delicious chopped and stir-fried with zucchini chunks. Top with roughly chopped roasted hazelnuts.
