In the first of the two episodes, Rory prepares dishes that have a seasonal flavour but which offer some relief to jaded palates: a salad of roasted pumpkin and Brussels sprouts with pumpkin seed praline and pomegranate molasses, and a cauliflower and coriander leaf soup with spiced tomato oil. This is followed by a rustic turkey and Swiss chard tart and then poached pears with chocolate and pistachio. As always with Rory’s recipes, these are straight-forward to prepare, light to eat and full of flavour.
