<p>Seasonal eating tends to feel less front of mind in the colder months, when summer’s tomatoes and strawberries are a distant memory. But November has its own quiet abundance, and it’s when sweet roots, earthy celeriac and crunchy cabbage bring out the best flavours in warming, nourishing meals. This month’s seasonal meal plan is designed for four, with five recipes that put the season’s hardest-working vegetables centre stage.</p><p>These recipes have been carefully selected by our editors to show how much everyday roots and brassicas can do. Carrots are naturally sweet, which makes them brilliant for roasting, so look for purple varieties as well as orange. Parsnips are best roasted when small to medium, as larger ones can be woody. Celeriac is one of the most versatile veg around, with a fresh, peppery flavour similar to celery. Brussels sprouts and red cabbage are both wonderfully inexpensive, keep well in the fridge and are best when finely shredded.</p><p>The week brings a crispy chicken burger paired with a creamy sprout slaw, a warming celeriac soup, a cosy harissa chicken and parsnip traybake, festive smash tacos, and a vegetarian spiced carrot wrap. The burgers and tacos are written to serve two, so double the quantities before you shop to feed the whole family.</p><p>Our recipes are designed to be adaptable. Where possible, we’ll flag simple swaps and tips to help you get even more from your weekly shop.</p><p>To keep things simple, use the in-app shopping list to add ingredients from each recipe, then check the My Good Food tab for one clear, organised list before you shop.</p>
