Vegetables
The main types of vegtables to enjoy in Scotland during the autumn are a spectacular range of hearty root vegetables. Including pumpkins, parsnips and turnips, this amazing splendour can be enjoyed as a vegetable bake or simply whizzed up into a warming soup. For a soup with a little added twist, we simply love crumbling in some Highland Fine Cheese Strathdon Blue to create a wonderful creamy texture.Leafy greens also make an appearance this type of year, with iron rich kale being readily available, a healthy addition to a roast dinner or a few slices of smoked venison.
Fish & Seafood
Rich meaty fish and seafood makes a great addition to any dinner table this year with Lobster and Razor Clams being a firm favourite around Scotland's coastline. Why not try these in a hearty fish stew served with Duncan's of Deeside Family Recipe Oatcakes for a real depth of flavour.
Meat & Game
Game Birds are incredibly popular in the autumn, with duck, grouse and pheasant all readily available around Scotland. Autumn also marks the start of the red deer hind and roe deer doe season making venison the perfect rich smooth meat ideal for any Autumn recipe.
