You know we're heading towards winter when Brussels sprouts start appearing in the shops. For dinner tonight they're pan fried (not boiled) with bacon, onion and almonds, then some cream is stirred in at the end for a bit of luxury.

Time for a bit of Bond, and one of my favourites. This was the first Bond film I saw at the cinema, has a cracking theme song from Tina Turner, stars Yorkshire's own Sean Bean, and spawned one of the best video games ever.

Some things - like pork and apple - feel like they were just born to be together. Pork chop braised with apple, cabbage & onion, and flavoured with thyme, sage, juniper, red wine vinegar & mace.

Lots of apples on the apple tree at the moment, so utilised a couple to make this dessert: baked apples with cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup.

Autumn is when I move into the season of stews, casseroles & other slow cooked dishes. Today is slow cooked oxtail with 5 spice & tamarind. Served with a potato & turnip mash, plus leafy greens from the garden.

A lovely afternoon at Cartwright Hall, which opened as an art gallery in 1904. Currently - as part of Bradford's city of culture celebrations - it is home to the nominees of the Turner Prize (see separate posts coming shortly).
