Nigel Slater’s autumn recipes to take time over

Spiced rice and pumpkin, comforting beef rib and potato, raspberry mille-feuille: layered recipes, contrasting autumn flavours

I am on the brink of lighting the first fire of the year. In fact, by the time you read this, I shall probably have done so. And with the cooler weather comes a different type of eating. Slower and (slightly) more complex, the sort of cooking that keep us a little longer in the kitchen but also at the table. Food to linger over.
