<p>You can find a variety of plants under the umbrella term ‘kale’, from the long and undulating blue-green leaves of cavolo nero to the scrunchy curly kale. For a quirky option, try the hybrid kalettes – a cross between kale and brussels sprouts.</p>
<p><strong>Roasted kale recipe</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Serves 4-6</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Wash 150-200g kale and tear off any woody stems. Scrunch (or massage) the leaves in your hands – this makes the kale less tough. Rip any larger leaves into small pieces.</li>
<li>Put the kale leaves on a baking tray and drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil. Toss, then season well.</li>
<li>Cook until the ends are crisp and starting to char.</li>
<li>Serve over something saucy like soft polenta or a creamy coconut curry, or even as an alternative to crisps.</li>

<p>Horseradish root can look a bit odd, like a large, slightly darker and thinner parsnip. You don’t need much for a decent batch of horseradish sauce, but the fresh stuff doesn’t keep, so grate all of it and freeze what you don’t immediately use. It’s eye-stinging work, so open the windows before you start – or, better still, use a food processor to finely chop the horseradish, adding a splash of water to help the blade go round.</p>
<p><strong>Homemade horseradish sauce recipe</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Serves 4-6</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Mix 1 tbsp coarsely grated horseradish root with 4 tbsp double cream and 4 tbsp crème fraîche.</li>
<li>Add 2 tsp sherry vinegar and season to taste.</li>
<li>To get the best flavour and texture, chill the sauce in the fridge overnight before serving.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Leftover horseradish sauce is good in mashed potato, with smoked salmon or as a dip for pizza crusts. Freshly grated horseradish discolours quickly, so mix it into the sauce ingredients as soon as you can. If using in salads, toss the horseradish in a little vinegar first to keep it bright.</p>

<p>Light green, with tendril-like branches, taste-wise kohlrabi is a cross between broccoli and radish. Serving it raw allows the crisp texture to shine through, but it does also roast well. The leaves are edible, too – cook as you would spinach or cabbage. The only parts of the kohlrabi to discard are the tough outer skin and the shoots.</p>
<p><strong>Kohlrabi & apple salad recipe</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Serves 4</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Mix 1 peeled and finely sliced kohlrabi with 1 cored and finely sliced green apple. Spread out on a serving plate.</li>
<li>Pour over the juice of 1 lemon and toss together.</li>
<li>Scatter over 50g toasted hazelnuts, 40-50g finely sliced hard goat’s cheese (or parmesan shavings) and 1 tbsp cress.</li>
<li>Season well and drizzle with 1½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately with crusty bread.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Look for smaller kohlrabi that feel heavy for their size.</p>

<p>Pumpkins are the winter squash family stars best known for their role as Halloween lanterns. Beneath their tough orange or yellow skin lies bright orange flesh that’s sweet and honeyed. They’re also packed with fibre and a variety of vitamins and minerals.</p>
<p>When choosing a pumpkin, look for one that feels heavy for its size with smooth, firm skin. Smaller pumpkins tend to have more flesh, making them an excellent choice for cooking. While their thick skin can be tricky to crack, the soft, sweet flesh inside is worth the effort.</p>
<p>Pumpkins are delicious roasted or used in stews, soups, and even desserts.</p>
