“At this time of year there are lots of wonderful root vegetables in season. And these can add lots of colour and taste to your plate, not to mention the vitamins. When you`re cooking your veg, remember not to add salt to the water. Flavoursome winter vegetables are easy to make without that pinch of salt. You could try adding some herbs instead. Brussels sprouts are a Christmas staple but they`re not to everyone`s taste. Try making them a bit more exciting by mashing them into mashed potatoes or serving them with crispy bacon, crispy cheese crumbs or sweet chestnut crumble.”
