Halesworth & Southwold Community News October 2019 29 Beans means… autumn is on its way
As days shorten, chilly dark evenings need warming soul food for Jonny Nicholson, Chef-Proprietor of The Sail Loft in Southwold
DO you remember that cereal advert where the little boy runs to school surrounded by a rosy warm glow, well that’s what I need come autumn. It’s been a topsy turvy summer and now as temperatures start to drop, we tuck into comfort food for our own central heating.
Autumn is a lovely time of year for food, even barbecues and salads start to get repetitive by the end of summer. A new season brings a whole different repertoire as we pull down dusty cookbooks from the bookcase, browsing for family favourites long since rustled up a year ago. And familiar
ingredients pop
back up like old friends too, lovely fungi carefully harvested as food for free, delicious wild game birds and hearty staples like root vegetables and slow cooked meats.
Whilst the cooler wetter months might call for our indomitable British spirit, the
old ‘grin and bear it’, if you wrap up warm, there is nothing better than the cosy hug of a casserole simmering in the oven after a long frosty walk.
Halloween is always a lovely start to the winter, and of course, onfi re ight hot on its heels. And that means heart-warming dishes for friends and family get-togethers. One of my favourite after-school teas was always beans on toast, had to be Heinz of course. But we do have delicious very local baked beans from a great Suffolk-based food producer, Hodmedod’s, based in Brampton near us here in north-east Suffolk. They only use British farm-grown pulses, which is a great news story for our agriculture, and if you really can’t fi nd the time or energy to make my Boston-style beans recipe, their classic baked bean out of a tin are a fi ne substitute. For special occasions, there is nothing like making your
own, and with the rich tangy spicy sauce and smoky bacon, Boston beans are very different kettle of fi sh to the th ariety. Perfect with things like sausage and mash or steak & kidney pie. And of course, when you are outside after trick or treating or around the bonfi re, watching the fi reworks go off, you will fi nd them the perfect soul food for kids, big and small!
Enjoy, Jonny Jonny Nicholson, Chef
