Use the distinct flavour of <a href="/glossary/nutmeg-glossary">nutmeg</a> to transform both sweet and savoury dishes in autumn. Grate it over roasted butternut squash, mix into creamy mashed potatoes or add to <a href="/recipes/classic-bread-butter-pudding">classic bread &amp; butter pudding</a> for a warm aroma and comforting flavour. Alternatively, this <a href="/recipes/custard-tart-nutmeg-pastry">custard tart with nutmeg pastry</a> is truly a dessert to be desired.
