What to Eat This Month – November 2024

November. The days are getting darker, the nights longer. It’s definitely comfort food time – and here’s what to eat in November.

In the U.K., we have bonfire night on the 5th November, and the USA celebrates thanksgiving in November too. Diwali is often celebrated in November. In fact, as the days get shorter, the celebrations get more prominent!

I spend longer in the kitchen during the ‘ber’ months (September, October, November, December). I like to counter the encroaching darkness with the flame on my hob, the warmth from my oven.

What to Eat in November – In Season

When you think of November, some in season foods will probably come to mind. We have parsnips and mushrooms, clementines and turkey. They are foods for savouring!

These are some of the ingredients that are in season in November:

  • Cauliflower
  • Celeriac
  • Horseradish
  • Leeks
  • Parsnips
  • Swede
  • Wild Mushrooms
  • Rosemary
  • Sage
  • Apples
  • Satsumas
  • Chestnuts
