5 reasons to buy Good Food's October magazine

In this month's issue

"What does comfort mean to you? A bowl of hearty soup on a chilly night, perhaps? Or maybe it’s simply crawling under the duvet with a box of chocs and your favourite box set. For me, it’s the butter-laden recipes our brilliant team have created this month (p25) – think sausage, onion and buttery colcannon-topped pie, or stroganoff pie encased in deep golden pastry, and a steak sarnie basted in miso butter. Say hello to your new comfort classics.

We’re not stopping there. On page 88, the wonderful Diana Henry revisits some time-honoured dishes to warm up with, like Southern-style mac ‘n’ cheese and a spiced beef stew, rich with stout and prunes. If you fancy bringing the pub to your kitchen table, turn to page 82 for recipes from George Darbyshire’s new book, including sticky pork belly bites. Craving something sweet? Our Baking Club is back (p95) with a batch of autumn projects – sticky toffee muffins, chocolate snickerdoodle sandwich biscuits and a showstopping pumpkin-spiced meringue stack.

So, draw the curtains. Get the oven on. Create something warming. Then curl up and enjoy – it’s time to get cosy."

No vegetable is more synonymous with autumn than squash. In this issue, Helena Busiakiewicz explores its range with a salad made with seasonal cavolo nero & ginger tahini dressing, zingy pumpkin curry, lazy lasagne and a moist cake to finish.

5. Turn on and switch off

Bowl of noodle soup with dumplings, chicken, pak choi, mushrooms and carrots, topped with chilli oil
